Red oily stuff is tranny fluid... get thee to a mechanic quickly. Is it actually shifting okay? Could be a bad seal, but if your fluid is low (which it sounds like it is, but I'm NOT a mechanic) it could be death to your transmission.


1st and 2nd are hard sometimes but the rest are fine

when the engine is cold it doesn't squeal but as it warms up the noise gets louder.

our mechanic said it may be that my transmission has dirt in it but he also mentioned through out bearings...

any ideas on what it is?

Does anyone know where i can get these for a ST?

or any advice starting to add mods to my st?



Header - eBay, will need to be slightly lengthened but nothing major.

Exhaust - have a local shop fabricate one with the muffler of your choice, 2.25" piping probably.

Cold Air Intake - You will have to buy the parts and custom make your own. The only mass-produced units for our Celica is the Short Ram by Injen and Weapon-R..


carstuff.com has CAI for gt for $220
and its injen
