well, last night i was racing around my neighborhood in my celi and i shifting pretty hard (i need a new clutch bad) and after going from 1st to 2nd multiple times i went to o slam it into 2nd again and it wouldnt go into 2nd and first was moved backwards as well as 3rd and 5th. i lost 2nd 4th and reverse because my shifter wont go back that far. i took a look under the boot and i had actually stretched out the shifting cable (i dont kow technical terms) about an inch.

heh i guess i'll be driving the family mini van for a few days.

You may have bent the shift forks in the tranny

'tis possible. its in the shop now. they think that the cable is all but they are being slow, and wont say if its ne thing else. they're replacing the cable and they said if that doesnt fix it they wont charge me for it.

god damn i shift to hard. maybe if i had a new clutch i wouldnt need to.
Would an ACT clutch be a good investment?

Stock Toyota clutches are good theres really no need unless you wanna pull like 20% more HP out of your car. I read in the other post that you're considering turbo, if thats the case then yeah, go with stage I or II.

well, i totally messed the tranny. it needs a full rebuild. so i am gonna have 'em throw the act clutch in, figured i might as well.
