I'm with norbie in thinking it's the MC seals.
My first step would probably be trying new fluid... before looking into rebuilding (or getting a new) the master cylinder.

Hi,
Interesting topic.
My clutch seems fine, but the gear changing is a little clunky. Down changing to 3rd gear can cause the odd snarl of gears. If I do the downchange slowly then its okay. Also, the faster I am going when I downchange to 3rd the more chance of the gears crunching.
I am assuming this is a clutch problem due to the clunkyness (for want of a better word) when changing up the gears.
Actually, I'm hoping its a clutch issue 'cos I can't get bits for my gearbox and I've only ever seen one (P51) for sale.. and that was a few years ago. I was told by Toyota that these clutches are not adjustable?

If it's only down shifting from 4th to 3rd that gives you crunching, it's most likely a syncro. How's the 3rd to 2nd? It's usually the one to crunch when down shifting. There's always double clutching...
