if you have the 4wd model you will need a rear differential too.

for all that you would have to tear apart to do what your planning
you might just as well go to a manual tranny

what mileage are you getting with the automatic?

I know where at least four (probably five ) 4wd wagons are sitting in a field a bit off the main drag(hiway 101 in northwestern washington) She will not sell just one (i've tried several times) have to take all or nothing anyone out there want to try for them? also know where two of them are near sh...

have you found one yet?

He was in the woods. No DUI, no poisoning.

My friend's son's Toyota was losing some water so he kept it topped off and continued driving it. One night he got drunk and passed out in the car with the engine idleing. It ran till it overheated and crapped out. Then the car sat for half a year. He pulled the head and asked me to look at it. The ...

i'm pretty sure the 3ac is non-interference

A tan ex valve is more normal than a black one. How many miles on this engine? High mileage engines develop greater valve to seat contact area and this results in more heat transferring to the seat from the valve. This can result in an exhaust valve not running hot enough to burn off the carbon &am...

My friends Tercel was steaming out the exhaust and had water in oil (brownish oil). We did a compression check before pulling head. #1 @ 180 , #2 @ 175 , #3 @ 90 , # 4 @ 180. After head was removed the top of the #2 piston was clean and the others were black so I'm guessing it was getting some water...

i will try that . thanks

looking at wiring diagram does not tell which is positive or negative. My rear speaker wires were cut on all cars that had a rear speaker so i'm guessing the solid color is the positive (black vs black w/white stripe). am i right?

I drove one of my tercels around for several years with those symptoms.
Never had a problem but always wondered what it was. When I removed the engine (which still ran fine) and took it apart it had one cracked piston.

i'm still messing around with the automatic now and then. I shoved a hose down the tranny dip stick tube as far as it would go and siphoned out over a gallon and a half of fluid. I slowly refilled the tranny with fluid till it showed up on the dipstick at the "cold" mark. I started the car...

one of the cars is my aunts so i drove it home after work. something was keeping the gas pedal from going down all the way. removed carb and the problem was the fast idle cam (i guess thats what it is called) the arm from the choke is connected to it. the bolt holding it was very loose and backed ou...

What controls fast idle? Is it all mechanical or does one of the vacuum hoses play a part? I'm having some problems with three Tercels in this area. Two cars will not start on cold mornings unless primed or the fast screw cranked way in. On the third car cranking in the fast idle screw does not do a...

what exactly broke in half
the shaft?
i'm wondering what else might be wrong to cause that
like no oil getting up there?
