  1. I always wondered why i crunched going into gears while in lift , it wasnt all the time but 50% of the time, i rang a couple of gearbox guys and they said it was the synchros , and then another guy said it was the way you drive, but tonight was the first time i ever downshifted into high RPM (6500-8000) and it crunched every single time. So i am pretty sure my gearbox synchros are gone, mind you this was downshifting into 2nd, didnt try 3rd or 1st, and to be honest i dont really want to, i dont often drive my car hard.

    Anyways

    What would be worth doing to the box? Rebuild, replace?

    + places to take it to?

    If so how much would it cost roughly and yeah any other info, thankyou :)

  2. my steering is perfect when my car has just started up, its light and turns beautifully

    however after about 5-10 minutes of driving it the steering becomes really heavy and feels like your driving a truck

    i have bought some new synthetic fluid hoping it will do the trick but what else could it be?

    does anyone else have the same problem

  3. Lately i have been noticing my stivo crunches 9/10 times when i go to change it into 2nd - 3rd but thats only when im driving it hard (leaving 8k rpm)

    i have cleared all the carpet mats and crap out of the way so its something internally i have to get looked at, could it be the clutch or gearbox?

    and also where is a good place i can get my car serviced? is it worth going to the toyota dealers or just your old regular mechanic?

    EDIT: I am from around the penrith area - western sydney

    ps before everyone says use the search button i cant find any threads about my problem, and i want opinions about the servicing

    :D
