    Bumping this thread because i also am curious to know what the solution is...

    Anybody know a garage or mechanic shop that specialises and know their way around these engines, clutches and gearboxes? Or if you personally have any mates that know what they're doing with these cars please let me know. AS LONG AS THEY ARE IN SURROUNDING SYDNEY SUBURBS (preferably South Western Sydney). Thanks!

    Thanks man, I just ordered an extended push rod!

    Thanks for the input, Squalled. I do plan on tracking the car in the future. Just need a few upgrades such as Moroso oil pan, MWR Billet Oil Pump Gear Set. Wouldn't the extended pushrod help with the constant hard/quick gear changes at high RPM?

    Thanks for the help, guys. I guess I can skip gears every now and then when I need to quickly overtake or slow down for a sharp turn, but other than that I suppose there would be no real reason to. As Squalled mentioned, I also saw something similar somewhere on the internet about the Sportivo/Celica gearboxes being fragile and what-not so I thought I'd ask here.

    Just wondering if it's okay to skip gears while driving the 2zz, for eg. 6th->4th, 4th->2nd, etc. OR 1st->3rd, 3rd->6th, etc. I tried it today this morning and accidentally went from 6th to 2nd but quickly managed to clutch-in at 6.5krpm. Does it wear synchros or clutch? Is it totally fine to do so? Or is it best not to skip gears at all?

    She's a beauty 😍 i've honestly got to try some of that Bowden's Melt Down stuff, that sounds pretty useful

    Thanks for the help, Tony and Squalled. I drive my car every day, I do drive it hard often but am also careful with my shifting. No limiter bashing or flat shifting or anything like that, just upshifting at 8k rpms when I want to have some fun. Clutch seems to be fully engaged when clutch pedal is all the way down (using Exedy HD), although I find myself having to use a little bit more strength to get it into 2nd when in lift. Would I still need to buy the extended pushrod?

    I've heard from friends, YouTube, forums, etc. that the Sportivo gearboxes are extremely notorious for crunching gearboxes. It's now got me paranoid. Right now my gearbox drives like a dream and runs smoothly. For what it's worth, I've got a 2005 model and I'm not sure if Toyota revised the 2zz-ge engine and gearbox from 2003 and 2004. What are some preventative measures I should implement to keep this from happening to me in the future? Is it worth investing in a MWR synchro set? Cheers.

    Hi all, Wanting to purchase some wing tips for my beloved tivo (facelift model). Silver would be preferred but willing to accept any colour right now, as I can always respray later. Will pay good price. Thanks. +Bonus points (and money) if you have facelift eyelids also.

    Car looks mint 😀 Diggin' the documentation bro, keep it up 👍 Keen for the next update

    I've been seeing tivos with extended pushrods installed on their clutches. My questions are - What exactly does it do? And how might this help performance and shifting? Is it worth the purchase? Or should I keep it stock? Thanks for any input guys

    I ended up installing the Alpine CDE-W296BT 😀
