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! -------------------- |

I've finally did it today, but it's too late. My clutch is starting to wear off again, after not more than ~20.000 km. This time I really need to replace the flywheel too.
Thank God it's almost winter here, so the tyres will be more slippery than the clutch About the adjustment, I've managed to lower the "release" point, but the pedal's highest position went down a few milimeters and it's not that stiff anymore (actually, it's really soft right now, from the "release" point to it's highest position). What I was trying to do was to keep the same stiffness to the pedal, the same pedal height and lower the clutch "release" point. There is something that I didn't do right... I'll pay more attention to it when I'll replace the clutch next time. Thank you wery much for your help anyway! PS: why ain't I getting any email replies from 6gc? -------------------- |
