Alright guys, I'd been able to maintain lift when I first got my corolla back in 04. The shift from 1st to 2nd was difficult so I took it to Toyota and it was fixed up. They must have adjusted the clutch and clutch pedal back then. Since 05 I haven't been lifting or trying to maintain lift and with the recent installation of the TRD CAI I got in the GB that just passed, I tried to do it and the 1st -> 2nd shift is so hard it's made it impossible to maintain lift. But maintaining lift 2nd -> 3rd and above is simple. 80,000km on the odo and I just changed my transmission oil to RP maxgear 75w90. Same problem but it's alittle smoother. Just checked the clutch pedal and pressure points and its all fine according to http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...ost&p=29995 :( Could it be my synchros seeing that I can maintain lift from 2nd onwards? Time to upgrade to Exedy HD clutch? Or just need a mechanic to properly adjust the shifter cables and clutch etc? Any advice would be great thanx. :)
