Stage 3

Recently my car decided she doesnt like going into gear sometimes... it actually feels like theres something in the way when it happens. When it does start happening she crunches quite violently going into reverse. It all feels silky smooth when the engines off and i try engaging the gears. Sometimes it starts when iv been driving her for a while, like coming upto a roundabout or lights she wont go into first or second (and on occasion any gear) but 3rd 4th 5th and 6th will be fine when she is actually going. Earlier i turned her off, ran through the gears a few times with my foot on the clutch and when i started her up the problem was temporarily gone so duno if that actually helped or if it was fluke. please help! Oooh and "shes" a 98 BZR |

took her to a garage because the problem is still intermittent. they recon i need a new clutch and theyve found one for a uk spec corolla that apparrently has identical part numbers/ratings an its only ~£50. Is this definutely the right part? Would be interesting to know whatother parts cross over like service parts etc. can anyone help? |

clutch has gone in with no problems. One of the gear linkages however is worn to an oval shape soshe needs a new one of those! (gutted if that was the main culprit) Either way the linkage is the same as he uk corolla so it should be sorted soon. Ill get a picture up for future reference to others |
