Sorry for the delay, those mounts look ok to me, the gap you see is normal but when the bonded part starts cracking thats a sign of failure.

Hey ,

Wonder if you can help with a problem that might be the clutch or engine mounts.

My 1.6 has over the last week developed a lot of judder at the biting point. (52k miles)

My old avensis did the same but there was always a small leak of oil around the cluch bellhousing, but not a hint of oil on the corolla.

I had a look at the engine mounts as its said these can also cause judder.

The offside horizontal one looks fine with the rubber attached all around the outer metal ring.

However looking at the nearside and rear vertical mounts the bolts are not in the centre, more between centre and bottom, and at the top of the ring the rubber does not touch, you can almost get a finger in the gap - is that normal ??

Wondered how you changed your own clutch, do you have access to a proper car lift or can it be done with the car just up on jacks and axle stands ?

Can the gearbox etc be lifted out by one man or is it two man or hoist affair ?

thanks

Hi would there be any chance you could take a pic of the mounts in question?

I did it at my work and used a two poster ramp. The box can be lifted in and out with just one person but its so much easier to get someone to help out, its not a very heavy gearbox.

I put a transmission jack under the engine and lowered it down enough to clear the chassis rails.

Double post

All depends, have you got some vice grips?

I changed mine and they gave up a good fight.

Yep ive just done mine, it can be done with out removing the subframe but its a pain in the *****, i just removed the subframe.

Remember to mark the subframe against the chassis otherwise you run the risk of the steering wheel sitting of centre or the car crabbing down the road.

I had my box out in about 2 hours with some faffing around (breakfast lol), its not that bad of job to do.

Spray some release oil on all the bolts, to aid easy removal.

I would leave the slave cylinder unless its showing signs of leaking.

If you need more help just ask, if i dont reply send me a PM as im not online much.

I hate it more than i hate french cars.

The air con draws the moisture out of the air.

From the sounds of it possible a maf sensor fault.

The Corolla only has one cat an its at the front, is that the one they replaced?

Nope

Yeah they do.

Thats a shame, good luck with the new motor.

What did you buy?

Lets us know how you get on.

No an no.

Most garages will have a code reader, or some members on here have one have a look at a topic pinned at the top of this section.

whats involved in fitting new cams? is it a big job? im guessing the cam followers will need replacing too?

No just the cams would need doing.

Its a hard job replacing the cams, you need to know how to set the timing 2zzge perfectly.

Davie get the old gasket lay it on the new gasket paper, draw round it an cut it out, badda bing badda boom your done ;-)

A decat will help too.

I disagree on the beans, tesco beans taste good to me haha.

Luk supply many manfactures, so toyota clutches are prob just luk anyway.

Go for the luk.

Last time I did a clutch the box was yellow n black.

It has sat for 3 days tho, what discs did you use?

Could be all depends on how they are made.

If you take of the black panel around the bonnet latchvyou can unclip the Badge, but if you cant do that then unclipping the grill is just as easy.

Otherwise BOOM haha

It is normal for discs to rust esp when left for 36hrs but the rear discs look like the pads only touches the centre of the discs surface.

Does the rear go shiny again or does it leave rust on the surface of the discs?

I'm up for a bit of dogging Matt

Your up for anything stewart.

Good to see we have some interest.

Ill put some dates together soon.

I wanna get up to crail a few times next year too.
