is any body hear not having smooth shifting with manual transmissions?

 

yes. me. even my brother in law that has been driving stick for about 15 years now has some rocky shifts in my car.
unless you drive super slow and work the clutch alot, it will be bumpy when shifting. i'm thinking its because of a hydraulic clutch and the drive by wire system

 

i mean the shifting is not a big deal, lol, i guess i did race a couple of stangs and camaros... its not as smooth as it used to be and i only have 6k...i wish there was a way to fix that...

 

well i hope mine doesnt start to do that.... i should stop beating on it hard then.

 

We ain't there now, but my wife and I spent the last 6 years in Chicago. We had a '99 RAV4 that she's now driving (to be replaced once I finish up paying for my tC).

Obviously I can't comment on the automatic version of the tC, but I can on the importance of warming the car up before you go anywhere in the middle of winter. One of the best things we ever did to her RAV was to have a remote start fitted. Push the button, look to check that it saw the signal and started, then jump in 5-10 minutes later after it's warmed up. No more having to head out into the cold just to warm the car up, and no more having to leave a key in the car while it's running.

That little RAV was a trooper. It's now starting to show its age in a bunch of ways, but even if it was -30F outside it would fire up first time, every time, and wouldn't complain at having to run in the cold. Even with standard tyres, it was great in the snow - very predictable.

Thankfully neither we nor my tC will ever have to face anything like that again. :D

 

i forgot to mention i especially notice when down shifting more than regular shifting...

 

Anyone have more info on the 2-3 shift delay on the tC Auto tranny? I wonder how it all worked out in the end?

 

remote starts are a great thing for those cold winter days to get ur ride warmed up..

as for the auto tranny please be sure to get the full tranny flush at 20k and not one of those specials "tranny drain and fill" itll help ur tranny stay in good condition.

 

What do they do exactly on the fully tranny flush?

 

this is not normal for toyota.....gotto be a flaw design in the tranny.

 

I would like to put full synthetic auto trans fluid in my car......was wondering if you tried the mobil 3309.....and if you did....how it's working out for you...any problems?
