#3147 of 3491 Clutch adjustments? by dave594 Jul 13, 2008 (8:38 am)
I have a 2002 Corolla S with the manual transmission. The car has 80k miles. Lately I feel that the clutch is engaging closer to the top of the release. Is this a sign of clutch wear or is there an adjustment? I went to a mechanic and he says that model year has the hydraulic clutch so there's no adjustment needed. Is that correct?

Replying to: dave594 (Jul 13, 2008 8:38 am) Corollas have had hydraulic clutches since at least 1984 - no adjustments. As long as the clutch is not slipping (one test is trying to accelerate in 5th gear up hill at a low speed, like 25 mph), you are fine.

#3150 of 3491 Oil Change by psciortino Aug 02, 2008 (4:26 am)
I have two oil change questions.   We have a 2009 Toyota Corolla LE which is 4 weeks old.   Question 1: Should the oil be chnaged at 1000 miles to clean out metal debris?   Question 2: Should synthetic oil be used thereafter?   Thanks. Phil Replies to this message: mnf (Aug 02, 2008 5:34 am)

Replying to: psciortino (Aug 02, 2008 4:26 am) No I would do a first oil change at the recommended time and then switch to synthetic oil. This will give the seals time to get good and set.   MNF

My car won't start...it doesn't do anything but the radio works so I know it's not the battery and I guess not the alternator. The day before it clicked and hesitated before starting. Does anyone think I need another starter and is that under maintenance? Would a new starter be covered under my warranty. I have 38000 miles on my car. I only go to work and come home which is why I'm surprised that my car won't start. And if it's not covered under warranty how much does a starter and labor costs. I really don't have any idea. My grandpa died last year and he helped me with my other cars that needed service. This is my first new car so I haven't had any problems until now. Help my funds are low and my kids start school Thursday, gotta get this fixed fast and cheap.   Replies to this message: busiris (Aug 08, 2008 5:25 pm) terceltom (Aug 09, 2008 5:50 am)

Replying to: princesshope (Aug 03, 2008 1:50 pm) More than likely, it IS your battery...probably a dead/shorted cell, which will not function under a heavy load, such as starting....but, will have enought power to run accessories.

Replying to: princesshope (Aug 03, 2008 1:50 pm) I would have to agree with Bursiris that it's your battery. My 2001 Corolla original battery just had to be replaced last week with the same symptoms your speaking of.

Replying to: dave594 (Jul 13, 2008 8:38 am) I wouldn't worry too much about the clutch unless it slips. With proper care, the clutch will last for many more miles (My Aunt has well over 200M miles on the original clutch....WOW!!!) She has had no major problems to speak of whatsoever!!   I do have 2 questions;   1. How often should the transmission fluid be changed with the manual?   2. How often should the antifreeze be flushed/changed?   ****I have a 2005 Corolla S.    JUST LOVE THOSE COROLLAS!!

Replying to: alex24 (Jun 08, 2006 7:59 pm) Hello to all, with the corolla vibrates problem, as you may remember I had that problem with my 98 corolla, I tryed every thing to solve it but change the tires because they were good, well now the tires wore down and needed changed, So as I put 2 new tires on the front of my corolla, now there is no more vibrating problem, Solved and wanted to let all know it does not matter how good your tires look, they can still cause vibration.
