hey ppl, i was searching around on the net and happened to come across this little thingy, :)

now i remember reading sumwhere on this forum that the reason y some ppl are experiencing the shifting problem from first to second whilst at high rpms

is bcoz the clutch doesnt disengage enough from something enough, well this little item seems to solve that problem..

any1 heard of this b4? or think it would work?

:)

I solved my shifting problem...

I got a 6 Speed Auto with a 4.0L Turbo attached... It shifts like you wouldnt believe :P

But what about your subsequent fuel economy problem?

That falls into the I dont care bracket... I can afford the fuel...

Best I have seen form the instant consumption is 90lt/100 :yahoo: and it was a clean shift 1st - 2nd at the time... :whistling:

I loved my Sportivo but this is just sooo much more fun.

semil shift like a man and slam it into second works for me everytime :)

cheers

LOL

soon after i bought the car i startd doing great shifts, but then it just got worse and worse, i think i should go for the clutch adjustment that some ppl have done. its just reali hard to take it out of gear wen in lift.

but then again maybe i should hit the gym LOL

:P

it's classified as a non-warranty adjustment, just like a handbrake adjustment. It's up to the individual dealer if they charge you for the tech's time up under the dash.

I have called up 3 toyota's and 5 Clutch & brakes specialists, none of them say its clutch adjustment. some say you shift to fast or we can't do aything about it. My friend said you cant adjust the pushrod or master cylinder because its hydraulic.... I even called Sydney city where people even got it done :S

there seems to be a few idiots around who state a hydraulic toyota clutch can't be adjusted.

They should put their head up under the dash and actually have a look some time.

Replacing the clutch is only a temporary fix. Shao had TRD clutch kit fitted to his car(now northy's) when new and has no shifting issues. Northy started to have shifting issues last year and it went in to have the clutch pushrod adjusted which solved the problem(didn't help the damage that happened while it was there unfortunately).

So replacing the clutch doesn't solve the problem but just prolonges the agony. Get the slave cylinder pushrod adjusted and all your issues will be resolved forever!!

The clutch master pushrod is meant to be adjusted when you replace the clutch. As the clutch plate wears, further minor adjustment will be required. The length of time before this adjustment depends on how you treat your clutch. Some people get 250,000km from the stock 215mm plate, some people get 10,000km.

it can be adjusted that's for sure, it is also incredibly difficult to get at the pushrod on the master up under the dash.

but if it isn't adjusted properly from factory then when replacing the clutch it will still only just be adjusted to be barely withnin specs. so the slightest wear it'll be out of adjustment again.

Tell me about adjusting the rod under the dash!! For someone my size it's pretty painfull!!

      Help with Head unit Upgrade ?

      Hello there, I have just purchased my first car, a used 2013 Corolla ZR Levin, wonderful machine !!!!!!! But the entertainment unit is a bit dated (see photos), i was interested in upgrading to something with Android auto (probably DIY). But i have no clue how to go about finding the perfect system that'll fit in the dash. Also, if there could be a USB-C connection that could be cleanly mounted into the blank spot next to the heated seat controls to run the unit directly from phone, is that at all possible? Can someone please provide some ideas as to how i might get this done, or if it is even possible............... Thanks fellas

      2019 Kluger 2WD Transmission whine

      update Peter Kittle diagnosed it as a Transaxle noise and they submitted an out of warranty claim. Toyota Aust honored the claim and replaced the transmission(transaxle assembly). My diagnostic fee was also refunded. Thankyou Liam at Peter Kittle for listening and responding to the issue.

      Part Wanted for 80, 100, 105 Series Landcruiser Spring Cap

      Hi, I am trying to obtain the part pictured, it is called a Spring Cap and it is spot welded to the chassis, called either a Spring Cap or Rear Spring Bumper Unit, the bump stop attaches to it and you can see it neatly inside the rear spring, this can be left or right it has no orientation, I want to buy either new or used. I have tried on some other forums and also many, many wreckers, it is hard to get at so wreckers don't really want to get involved, I was offered one in an 80 series and I could take it out myself for $20.00, Bargain, but they would not allow me to put the wreck on its side to access it and after surveying the job decided I could not do it in the position it was in, is there anyone who wither has one, knows where I can get one or has useful information to help in me finding one, I am happy to pay postage or even drive a bit of distance to remove one from a chassis I can get at? any help appreciated. I am in North Lakes Qld, 35k North of Brisbane. Graeme power

      2016 Aurion Sportivo missing electric blind button

      Hello everyone, Ive just bought a 2016 Aurion Sportivo and was wondering about the electric blind/sunshade button. The car seems to have the hardware for the blind itself (I think but I could be totally wrong) but the button is just missing, with a hole in its place. Does anyone know if it would be as simple as buying a replacement button? I’m not sure what the cabling for the button looks like so I can’t guarantee that the cables are there, though I would assume they are since it seems the actual blind hardware is there? Also, does anyone know what I should do with the other missing button (lane departure switch) hole. Any help would be appreciated

      Rear power door

      Hi Alim, just open your glove box and the button is on the side, you can't miss it. If you don't see a button then you don't have a power tail gate.
