Hi guys,
I read this article http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/portal/alias__carpo intau/tabID__6485/ArticleID__6615/DesktopDefault.a spx
and realised i'm having a few of those problems.
I have a Corolla 1990 AE92 1.6 Carb Manual, I bought this 2nd hand 2 years ago. My car has now done 160k KM
Its been perfect since the day i've had it, apart from the rear struts I had to get replaced to get it road worthied.
But recently i've had some problems. I'm showing some symptoms of an aging corolla and I need to know what
to do.
I've scoured the net for these problems and don't know what parts to get replaced/fixed.
I'm experencing the clicking noise at full lock when turning around a corner, i believe this is coming from the CV
joints, what exactly are these and how much should i be expecting to pay for this to be fixed? do they even need to be replaced or can you just grease them up again?
Also i'm having trouble shifting from 3-2, crunching gears occasionally doing this, and also shrudding when taking
off in first alot, whats causing this to happen?
"Noisy or worn manual gearboxes are now showing up usually because of poor driving. Check the 1-2, 3-2, 4-3
changes for graunching. A clutch that doesn’t engage until the last bite of travel is on its last legs. Broken engine mounts are now showing up with age and quickly generate costly exhaust fractures. " This is from the carpoint website.
My clutch isn't engaging as well till the last moment, i'm guessing i need a new clutch.
If changing from 3-2 isn't smooth , would replacing the clutch solve the problem or should there be something
else that needs to be done?
Thats the 3 problems i'm having , the rest of the car is perfect (i think)
How much should i be looking at to have these fixed? I just don't want to be ripped off.
Is there any where in melb that you guys recommend to have my car checked out and fixed?
btw, check out my profile, it not much but that's what i do.
Leon
