ok I see, so I should slow down in 5th, untill I am going the speed I wish, and then shift into second... I was just wondering because my engine is loud as hell even at 4krpm.

I was driving today and had to make a sharp turn, I was going about 45-50 in fifth, and I rev matched my way down to second. What im wondering is it ok to rev match from 5th all the way down to second?

I just checked my clutch fluid reservoir and it is a little low. Can I just poor some clutch fluid untill it reaches the line, or do I have to go through the whole process of bleeding the clutch? Also any recommendations on clutch fluid and which auto parts stores to buy it from??

thanks for the input, im going to see if I can figure it out on the alltrac forum.

How exactly do you go around adjusting the friction point(or clutch pedal freeplay) on a clutch pedal?

Ive had my car for about 8 months now, and I still get jerky shifts when I am in fast stop and go traffic. I hardly ever stall anymore, but I think the main cure would be time and practice.

get the gsr. dc2 platforms are one of the best for modding.

well heres the other side of my car, previous owners :evil:....scoop is functional(tmic) . so far I have replaced the rear diff cushion, throttle body inlet tube, master clutch cylinder, hawk hps brake pads, rear tail light, and new hatch struts. Next on my list include fixing the dent, new weathers...

Whenver I downshift into second from third, the shifter/tranny makes a clunk and the the shifter feels almost like it is forced into gear. Is this a result from regular wear on a 20 year old tranny?

I still havent pushed it, still fixing the broken parts from the previous owners and doing the routine maintenance.

my car. 1990 celica alltrac 3sgte awd.

so does my method sound about right?

Just wondering about how I do my rev matched downshifts.... foot off gas(though sometimes I can do it so fast that I dont need to let off the gas), clutch in, blip gas while changing gears and letting clutch out. sound about right?

Last night was one of the most hectic nights I have ever had at my part time job. Macy's was packed!!!! Their was none stop people wherever I would turn. I got out at 1030, I was so tired... So I jumped in my car and started my commute home. Let me just say that it was one of the most pleasant drive...
