mine drips brown ouz too. someday I may actually fix it.

Hi Paul, welcome to the forum. That input shaft should be the same for all FWD and 4wd trans on all Tercels from '83-'86. perhaps even back to 1980. There might also be forum members with used spares to send you. the most knowledgeable forum member on transmissions is Xirdneh, he might chime in with...

I used small cable ties to button it all back together. HA! that is brilliant! I always dread taking off the seat covers because of those darn steel rings, I usually carefully unbend them so I can reused them. Usually puncturing the skin on my fingers more than once in the process. It has never occ...

a noise like that may not even be bearing related, but Baily is correct. You might just jack each of the front wheels up and rotate the wheels by hand, if they turn smoothly they are not likely at risk. Than you can drive it until either it goes away, or it gets so obvious it is easy to track down. ...

you would be best not to drive it at all right now. you may still be able to rebuild/repair the trans in its current condition. But it it totally fails , which is likely to happen, all of the internal parts will be ground up, leaving nothing that is repairable, or even as spare parts.

a stalling issue like that is usually related to the linkage adjustment. there are several adjustments on the carb that have to be set properly, in proper sequence, to set the idle speed and allow it run without stalling out. the throttle cable, the idle speed adjustment (both fast/cold idle, and re...

welcome to the forum,

could you post some pictures of what you are talking about? I am not familiar with any bumper kits for these cars. all of this forum's members who have altered their bumpers have made them from scratch.

that is just awsome. Have fun with it. A word of caution on the front lift, too much angle on the front CV axles, and they will grind themselves up in short order. Ideally they should run at zero angle for least wear, a small angle will not harm much, but a sharp angle means those joins are always i...

Welcome to the forum, Your Tercel is well worth fixing. it is an easy fix for anyone familiar with this car, or you can just replace the whole carburetor assembly. I have several spare carbs, for a reasonable fee I could install one in my daily driver and verify it is a good running carb, than clean...

install air adjustable shocks. You can adjust the ride height according to the load. you can get these great little 12v air compressors to mate to your air shocks from many Mercedes, Lincolns and MPV 4x4 vans, and several others, and just connect it to a manual switch so you can adjust the ride heig...

even a brick will have less aerodynamic drag than a brick with a tire on top of it.

FYI, the seat base cover can be interchanged left and right, but you have to take the seat apart and remove the upulstry from the metal and foam base to switch it over to the other side. I once had project Tercel that had a near perfect interior, except the driver seat had a small tear and the foam ...

there was a forum member some many years ago, who was restoring a Tercel and took the inclinomter apart to clean it and "refresh" the face. I do not recall it was that difficult, he emailed me to tell me he was pleased with the results and that it now looked like new. You should be able to get it op...

I do not know, but there may be a fuse to check too. I know it is easy to forget the obvious.

sounds like something you did not fix when you rebuilt the engine. Always diagnose the problem before you try and fix it. head or engine cracked? the 4ac engine came in the 83-88? cororllas, is a direct bolt in up grade, gives you a bit more power too. some design details improved over the 3ac as we...
