Hello all!
I have a good mechanic, but he is not really familiar with Toyota's. He can detect most of the problems by listening, smelling etc., but he couldn't adjust my clutch pedal the right way. I think he only managed to loosen up the shifter cable by spinning two screws under the pedal. I just want the clutch to "release" at a lower level, the main reason being that right now the pedal has a loooong way from up to down and the other way around, which is very unpleasant when trying to drive more sporty. My car is a '95 6gc with 3sge engine, manual transmission, lhd. One more question: is it possible that my clutch is dying every ~30k km because of a worn-out flywheel? Or could it be the fact that the clutch pedal is set too high? Or could it be just my bad driving skills? :| Thanks a lot! -------------------- |

You can adjust the push rod that goes through the firewall for your clutch to change the place it grabs. Its a bit tough to get a wrench on there to loosen the nut locking it, but once you do you can adjust it to where you want. I'll try to get a pic if I get a chance.
Romania! I have a friend here at school here in the states who is from Constanta! He attended the naval/military academy over there for a year and now is here at our Academy. |
