homie

yeah all this stuff is fairly new to me. dont wanna prolong my axles too

well do drive out my house everyday knowing im beating my car so its expected

Slave and master changed! No go! input anyone?

[808celica]

new problem. i cant get into 2nd gear. when going from 1st to 2nd above 20mph or 4k rpms i cant get into 2nd. it doesnt grind, car doesnt jerk when i let go of the clutch. same as going from 3rd to 2nd when slowing down for a light.

tried rev matching, no go. how ever if i go under 15mph or under 3k rpms i can get into 2nd if im lucky. stick goes into 2nd gear position but doesnt lock in. i get the feeling like its not entering the gate.

new clutch, working reman master and slave, new flywheel,, and everything installed properly.

[808celica]

i heard too much fluid in trans can cause this, shifter cables broken/worn, shifter bushings gone, and driver error.

dunno about driver error cuz Herosblade test drove my car and it happened to him also.

when the car is at a complete stop like at a light i can play around and have the "enter the gate" feeling in 2nd and all gears.
just put in new fresh Royal Purple Synchromesh equivalent to the Pennzoil oil. it only happens in 2nd and sometimes 4th but rarely.

could it be that the bushings on the quick shift be gone??

[samir0189]

My dad put RP in his gearbox of his old truck, and after that he was unable to get 2nd geAr too. I also recently read in a 4x4 magazine that some guy put RP in his Tacoma tranny and couldn't get 2nd or 3rd.

how much fluid are you putting in?
it takes ~2.7qts.

doubt its the quickshifter, ive had mine since 03 without issue.

[GriffGirl]

This honestly sounds very much like what happened with my car when my clutch went out last year. I started w/the slave, then master, bled the hell out of it... no go. Did just fine going through the gears w/the car off, but once the car was running I couldn't get it into second either.

Over 2 or 3 days it got progressively worse to the point where I couldn't even start the car. Then I heard a big chunky metal sound and decided it was time to tow it out to the shop— after dropping the tranny I discovered a big chunk of one of the springs was jammed into some other random part of the clutch plate. Cheap ass POS Chinese junk! Replaced it w/Exedy OEM kit and some Penzoil Syncromesh and it's felt like a new car ever since.

Not that I've ever owned a new car. But you get the point.

kk i'll just let the trans drain out of the fill hole until it doesnt

yeah sure. played with a couple things and im most certain that my shifter cable is just plain old and wait on its way going out. I now have no bottom gears, however when having someone hold the stick in any of the bottom gears and simply touching the gear selector the stick gives that feeling of it actually entering the "shift gate" once i get my cables and install i will come back here and post teh results.

wish me luck

[808celica]

Yay!! First problem for the damn New Year............ not liking it too
updated the first post with the best description i could.

Used the E1 and TE1 paper clip trick and got 1 flash, pause, then 2 flashes.

Celica_STCali responsed to my text (thanks man ) and replied Code 12.

[Bitter]

double check the connections at the dist, could be a loose wire.

[CelicaST_CALI]

*ahem* its CelicaST_cali...haha glad i could help

[808celica]

double check the connections at the dist, could be a loose wire.

everything seems good except that the connections dont snap in and lock!?!?!
using the CEL sticky link imma check the resistance between each terminal, mainly G and NE.

I really dont wanna buy another distrib cuz this one is pretty damn new, but if it is the problem then i guess im getting the $450 distrib directly from Toyota and i hope i dont have to replace my ecm.

**donkey balls!!!! i guess im heading to the junkyard. hope there's another celica i can rape parts from. there goes my $$ for jdm tails once again

well they should click into place and hold from being pulled out. i would verify that the pins in the terminal are not spread and not making contact with the pins on the dist.

Read this thread your having the same problem I was having awhile back, it was my new distributer that was faulty not sending signal to the ecu causing my car to stall and not start. You have the same cel codes I had too. The top connector on the distributor is the culprit for the 1-2 code test that first.

funny thing is too i posted in there. my problem was the distrib, the coil imploded. so that was replaced with a Napa brand (sadly yes cuz Toy is just too damn expensive). I used a multimeter to check the ohms, the distrib prongs checked out fine according to the multimeter. The old distrib is gone because of the core exchange with Napa.

I did find that the connector is missing the damn locking clip, so the connector just snugs in. only thing with that is i tried moving the connector with the car on and running. I bounced the car and what not trying to see if the connector comes loose. Connector doesnt move but thats only 5mins of moving, not the continuous movement of actually driving the car. I will source out a new distrib connector, if i cant find one im buying from the Doc's site. I really hope my ecu isnt shorting.

Car starts and runs idle fine now, I guess im using it to work for the rest of the month and see if it happens again. So as the car stands the problem isnt solved fully.

[Bitter]

use a ziptie to hold it into place, see if the problem still exists.
