what is the deal with the glove box in these cars, my handle is sagging to one side just like yours They all do that; I tried straightening mine (pot metal) and that lasted for several openings - afraid of breaking it, I just live with it.

My 83 4WD ( 5 spd ) travel 70 MPH at 3,000 RPM , I had it over 80 MPH around 3,600 RPM many time as easy does and smooth ride , BUT it burn or loose 1/2 liter of motor oil in 300 km drive . So 70 + mph does not loose oil . As for 1985-87 4Wd and any age Tercel with Auto has very high RPM .
