You are in the Toyota Corolla Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I took a test drive in the 5-speed. I noticed the stick goes back to a "neutral" position after shifting. My other manuals, the stick stays in the position of the gear. On the Corolla, it looks like it's in 3rd, even if you're in 4th.  Is this normal? It felt weird at first, but I got used to it quickly. Other than that, shifting was smooth and easy. Thanks.

Rev hang is when you take your foot off the accelerator to shift to the next higher gear, but the rpms still do not drop for a while, kind of like if you did not take your foot off the accelerator. Nice to see someone interested in manuals - I thought I was the only one!!!!

I bought a 2010 Corolla S on 11/14 with the 4.9% APR deal. Now this week they moved to a 0% APR for the car. Do I have any leverage to go back to the dealer and request the new APR?

Replying to: michelrs (Nov 22, 2009 1:47 pm) OK, yes, I understand what you are asking about looks, and that is just the difference in cars - all cars have different shifter set-ups, and they can feel different than others (and I'm sure look different too). I am still confused about "shifter also moves freely back-and-forth once in gear, but that doesn't seem to mess up what gear it's in." It should not move by itself at all, or maybe just a tiny bit (like a 1/16 inch or less back and forth as you press on the gas and then release it).

Replying to: mcdawgg (Nov 22, 2009 7:30 pm) It's just that I've driven manuals all my life (here and in Europe) and have never encountered anything like this before. I was a little confused about how it felt. I'll keep you posted.

| 2010 Corolla with 4500 miles. I notice that the idle is rough when I first start the car and when I stop for a traffic light. However, the idle is only rough when the headlamps are OFF (regardless of 'auto-on' or manual) With the lamps on, it idles right around 800 RPMs. When off, it drops to 600 and will sometimes fall below 600 for a second and then surge back up. Any thoughts. I'm brining it for an oil change next week and don't want the service writer to think I'm off my rocker when I tell him the problem. Thanks | |
