Re: Turbo Tercel shreds transmission
what machinery are you using for the fix? i have spare parts. i put another shaft in, replaced 2nd gear, cleaned all the metal out and its working fine again. I have a theory that the failure wasnt caused by the motor, but was an "internal" failure, if that makes sense. I dont have pictur...

Re: Electrical problem
if you want help you need to make a more clear, concise, and constructed post. one long run on sentence is hard to decipher.
check the dome light fuse for the clock, and the radio #1 and #2 fuse. also quit splicing wires when you dont know what youre doing. that only makes the issues 100x worse.

Re: Transmission.. Refresh?
I also like to replace the inner input shaft seal as they are usually hard as a rock. This requires separating the bell housing, which in of itself isnt hard, but youll need to either scrape and rtv the two halfs back together, or buy a replacement gasket (which i do make!)

Turbo Tercel shreds transmission
Just posting this so the forum members can see it. This is the FWD variant transmission in my '81 turbo 4age tercel. I dont have dyno numbers yet, but ballpark number is ~240 crank hp in a 1900lb tercel. It let go while casually driving at ~25mph when i shifted between 2-3, and as soon as i let off ...

Re: Fuel tank access hole
I knew the risk of one thing leading to another when I pulled the tank... But those lines really don't look good so good I did anyway. That makes sense for removing the bolts. I'll use something stronger than Wd-40. Sounds like I might be in for a lot of thinking for the lines. Sigh. Thank you both...

I've got things broken down into three groups: Basic: For when you need to pull the transmission. Includes just the input cover ...

Re: 4WD fuel pickup line?
When it comes time, I am just going to take mine to a shop and have it fixed / modified. Did you ever end up doing this? Just wondering how it went. i did. i ended up bending steel lines that mimic'd the old ones for the turbo car, and while it did work, i ended up ditching it. the first gens have ...

Re: Horsepower
Hi in the future (around 6-7 years) I want to add some go fast parts but I don't want to spend a lot of money on it so if you know of anything that can get me around 150-200 hp for cheap it would be very appreciated they never made any "go fast" parts for the 3a or 4a engine. it only has ...

Re: It starts but doesn't idle or stay running
do you know what a converter looks like? it right after the downpipe. pipe diameter is either 1 7/8 or 1 15/16. just take calipers to it and check.
