Hey guys, just recently bought an 05 sportivo. I don't know if its my driving but when I take off on first and reach over 6k revs, the clutch gets stuck about half way after I changed to second. And also the gear gets jammed a bit too between first to second.

I had this problem with my '05 sportivo too. I'd go over 6000rpms hitting lift in 1st or 2nd & it wouldn't shift!

With mine, it was the gearbox oil. I had the gearbox oil drained, had new penrite gearbox oil put in & also added Nulon G70 & it stopped. The clutch was fine in mine but I'm not sure about your's mate.

gear oil has nothing to do with the pedal.. its a clutch or pedal problem, or hydraulic problem...

can you press the pedal while in neutral and just keep pumping till it gets stuck half way then look at the fork on your gearbox (look before u do this so u know when the fork is pressed and depressed) if your fork has returned all the way but your pedal hasnt maybe its the pedal itself. usually the spring in the pedal will lift it back up..

I actually did a post a thread about this previously bud. It was about how my sportivo wouldn't go into 1st & reverse.. I have to press the clutch twice, sometimes even 3 times, then it'll go in. The car has done 90,000kms now.

My mechanic had a look at it when I got the minor service done last week & he said the same thing as you. He said it's a clutch problem. He can adjust the pedal but it won't do a big difference he said. He's suggested to go for a new standard clutch & it'll fix the problem.

Get it checked out by a mechanic, maybe it's your clutch pedal!

IMO; maybe u have a leaking master or slave cyl?

hold the pedal down and watch the fork and seek if it returns (leaks) so to speak.. get a broom or something and press the clutch pedal down and inspect the salve cyl.. see if it returns ?:!:!:W$%#%^$%^

inspect the clutch pedal tooo

Thanks for the fast reply guys! I've tried what 123 Prozac said and it didn't jam up.

I'll try changing the gear box oil first since its a cheaper option and then change the clutch if its still wrong. Thanks for the advice, appreciate it!

Hope it turns out well for you mate. My clutch still doesn't disengage sometimes & I have to press it twice or 3 times.. Really tempted to just go for a HD Exedy clutch.

No point with the oil.. IMO.. Cause oil needs to be drained (into a clean container if your gonna keep it)..

What ever it is, either pedal system or clutch let us know when it's fixed..

Again; clutch isn't in the oil clutch is dry not part of the oil system to cause it to get stuck half way, pedal I reckon..

Keep us updated !

100% def not the gearbox... how can a gearbox problem move your clutch pedal to start with??? I had the same problem as few times before i changed my clutch kind of felt like the clutch was sticky...honestly save yourself the $150 or so on the gearbox oil and additives usually you will only change the oil if you have a problem in selecting gears/crunching gears not an issue with a clutch pedal... totally different

Or just came to my head make sure that the clutch line is still fine eg. no air in the system or cracks and all the fluid is still there

In my case, it's the clutch.

The mechanic has suggested to go for a new clutch so let's how that goes.

If your clutch is good then I'd suggest to get the clutch cable adjusted &/or the clutch pedal!

Also, I changed my gearbox oil because shifting between gears was really rough. Ended up that because the previous was getting it serviced by Terry Shields, the gearbox wasn't changed since brand new!!

Sorry to post this so late but -

The Sportivo's had issues with their gearboxes. Check out the stickies :)

I managed to get a brand new gearbox out of hinterland toyota cause they could never figure it out (Told them about it everytime I took it for a service then 5 days out of warranty the guy finally said yeah theres a problem...But since I had been telling them for so long Toyota HO told them to replace the box at their own cost :D) - it also didn't fix the situation. Always felt like the gear stick would double click in and then you knew it was engaged, 1st to 2nd was impossible to shift aswell. didnt matter where I shifted at.

Replaced everything with stage 2 clutch kit (All up parts and labour was $900) Got a faster response out of it and no more gearshifting issues - Ever :)

Sorry, I meant the gearbox oil had not been changed since the sportivo was brand new!

I haven't been on the forums lately because I've been so busy with work. Finally got a chance to jump on.

About 2 weeks, I bought a HD Exedy clutch from Turbo Spares in Cabramatta NSW. My mechanic installed it & I haven't had a problem with shifting when in lift! While he was there, he machined the flywheel as well.

I've had the gearbox oil changed when the minor service was done at about 90,000k

Paid $350 for the HD Clutch & no labour cost because my mechanic is my uncle (mum's brother).

I did some work for him so it evened out haha.

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
