But i don't believe GL4 = synchro protection and GL5 isn't.  What about GL6 oils?  If someone can explain "API" that should explain it bcuz its usually API GL4 or GL5.

some GL-5 rated oils contain sulfer which eats away at all the brass in the trans. GL-5 is made for rear end gears, not the tranny

Not sure if any of you guys have upgraded to the speed-source brass shift bushings, or used the energy suspension motor mount inserts... but the combination of the two has solved any and all of my shifting issues.

Although if I don't wait a little bit after I depress the clutch, I'll still grind reverse.

Would you provide a link as to where we can purchase these parts? Thanks in advance ;)

I also forgot about the extended master cylinder push rod you guys use over there. Did that really help?

And the brass bushing looks good Northy, will be interested if we can get them here. What abt the motor mounts?

group buy and group install!? :P and interesting abt the engine mounts, more engine movement = more movement through transmission = crap shift quality? But i guess that applies more to older cars or Celicas that have done more than 100,000kms and 5 years or older so the mounts can be a little loose.

A shifting question here: Has anyone tried shifting 1-2 without letting the gas pedal out fully, like just let the gas pedal 3/4 - 1/2 way out, shift into 2nd, clutch pedal out and full gas again? i am trying that out at the moment bcuz the problem when trying to shift easier and slower is letting the gas pedal out fully=revs drop right down (especially with lighter flywheel), so i was hoping by keeping the gas pedal going, revs will stay higher (above 6000rpm) before clutch enagement so i get more torque so easier to land LIFT. Confusing enough? :blink:

that would be burning up your clutch a lot. I'll bet the flywheel is blue ;)

One step ahead of you Zee. Already organising the possibility of getting some made here in Brisbane ;) If I get enough interest there could be the possibility of doing a larger quantity for a good price. :D

Tried that out, doesn't work for me :( so back to normal shifting and you are right abt burning up the clutch and flywheel.. but worth a try anyway i thought. I think my Stivo just needs more mid range torque, now where's Craig :P

And Brendon, i knew you Brissy boys would be right on it :D

If i were you.. I wouldnt get energy suspension engine mounts unless absolutely necessary.. The added vibrations is annoying.. Things start to rattle. It doesn't make much of an improvement. I little bit easier to land lift 1st-2nd.. I little bit better tractions. But not worth the pain and agony you'll have to live with everyday.

K.. it probably be alright for some people. As long as you don't have a gf nagging at you saying ur car sux dog balls because of the added vibrations and noise.

sounds like you need to take charge mate :P, the stiffer engine mounts have not made much diff to noise/vibrations, they have made the car better to drive tho

True.. Probably different between celica and corolla. But just about every celica owner with these have the same "problem" ;)

sorry for the belated reply... i got the regular toyota kit, both bushings are the same size on my 2ZZ.

honestly, the polyurethane engine mount inserts made a bigger difference than the brass shift bushings... but the combination is outstanding.

Just took my car to the 20,000km service this morning. I had also stated the gear change problem, 1st - 2nd above 6,000 rpm.....can't shift, need to wait till it drop to 5,000, as well as crunchy shift 3rd to 2nd.........all that kind of crap :angry: .

Also, the rattles behind the stereo when driving over bumpy road.

It is the second time I bring it in for the gear change issue to the Sydney City Toyota.

The car will be ready at about 4:30pm today.

Wish me luck guys ~~~ :)

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.
