6G Celicas Forums

all i'm saying is that this happened to me and the mounts were the problem. the engine and the tranny can both be out of line due to one or two mounts being shot. not saying a lot, not saying that's the problem. just saying it's worth checkin it out.

right. so what's so unlikely?

the glass is what sets us apart from the lowly bmw and porsche convertibles...

i know there are three mounts, but they can go bad. when they deteriorate (do you have leaking oil around the engine? this will eat the rubber in the mounts) the tranny can drop and misalign.

mine had the same problem when i bought the car used. i bought a new lighter for 30 bucks from the dealer, and put it in with no tools. it's really easy. the console cover snaps out, and the lighter just unplugs and plug in the new one. gotta have it, ya know?

nice job dude. the color looks great.

check your tranny mounts. this can allow the whole unit to slip out of place. you can put a pry bar under it and check for movement. otherwise it could be a linkage problem.

the finish is worn off mine, anybody wanna unload theirs?

neons are what i want. what do i connect to to have the doors operate the lights? I'm thinking of just running a wire all the way to those red door lights, because those are the only ones that go on when the doors open.

anybody got a stock knob for sale?

does the 6g celica (maybe just the convertible) just NOT have interior lighting when the doors are opened, or am i missing something? I want to add floor lighting, but don't know what to connect to to have the doors operat the lights.

check your transaxle mounts. that positioning is critical for smooth shifting. try this test: while driving, put pressure on the shifter (as in forward). let off the accelerator and feel for movement in the tranny. bet it's loose. new mounts will give you a new lease on life! good luck.
