I picked up a Celica SX '96, manual.

It runs beautiful, however when I select 3rd gear and take my hand off the gearstick BEFORE releasing clutch/accelerating, the gear will slip back into neutral.

But when I press gearstick in 3rd gear for a moment UNTIL I fully released clutch/accelerated, then I can take my hand off the gearstick and it stays in gear nicely.

This only happens in 3rd gear.

What could be the issue? It does not really bother me while I am driving. I am just wondering if this is a sign of some major problems($$$) coming up later. I was planning to get it roadworthy and register it, but if it would need a new gearbox in the near future, it may not be worth it...

I might need to add, the gear slips out from the force of the acceleration.

From experience I would say that there is a problem with the Gearbox, two options are to 1) take it to a gearbox specialist (probably the best option but not the Cheapest) 2) Go to a Wrecker and pick one up, they will always want to exchange it with what you have. You will need to take it to your trusty Mechanic to do the swap. Make sure its swapped properly, as the gearbox seals could already be damaged and the swap could cause it to leak, so you might as well get the seals changed as well. I would go for option 1) they can never give you a Quote straight up as they can never tell exactly whats worng until they open it up. Worse case scenario, this could cost you just over $1000

baaahahahaha... the same way as your wiper blades being worn might cause the head gasket to blow.

My second car ( hilman hunter 35 years ago) had this problem and I just drove it for years without using 3rd gear.Eventually a friend gave me a gearbox from their crashed car and I spent the weekend replacing it.The car went for a few more years and I sold it to another friend who totalled it in a head on crash.

Maybe you can find a mechanic that can verify it is the gearbox.NRMA breakdown service have verified car faults for me.

What is the NRMA equivalent in QLD. :)

It will probably have something to do with your exhaust bearing.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
