Got a question...... [edit] ...i dropped it down into second....didnt think it would be a problem since i was only doing like 40. When i did this there was a loud like bang noise when i tried getting it up to redline and shifting around 6500rpms. So can someone please tell me what the fuck that noise was and if i messed my car up. Also wut rpms should you shift at.....when i try and shit at 6000 it doesnt pull but when i redline it it shifts wierd. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!! Thank you and sorry if this question is kinda stupid, just got the car.

First of all, please tell me this wasn't on a street..................?

Second, You need to get to know your car before you just up and race it. tC's have power LOW in the rpm range. at redline your WAY above your powerband. Your not driving an SR20 powered car. The 2AZ-FE is not a rev-happy engine.

Since I don't own a tC and a few other members here do I'll leave the RPM's and shift points to them but tell me, is your car making any wierd noises right now just durring normal driving or was it just when you shifted that one time. It might be that your engine mount gave enough that your hit the chassis with some part that might not otherwise move like that.

P.S. You own a Toyota. I would hope you consider yourself above the honda Streetracing stereotype.

I agree - you probably just "bottomed out" your motor mount. Which is hard to do, and could result in a torn bushing, so investigate it.

Second - what year SI was it?

Actually the car isnt my car im just doing this for a friend cuz they cant get online.....but ill ask them if its making noise now. I mean i was in the car......but def. didnt sound good. So now i need someone to tell me the shifting points and all......Plz Help. But ill post again and let you know if its still making noise. I mean the thing is she is use to driving a honda prelude stick and im sure theres a big difference between that and a scion tc. So someone plz help with shifting....Thank You

If its the new Si I dont know why you would be racing one. You have no chance against those.

at 40 it shouldn't be too bad, check the mounts and listen to the tranny ... at 60, check for holes.

what rpm are you shifting at aren't you surposed to be shifing at 3k? or so

***BLUEMEANIE*** · 01-02-2007, 10:08 AM

3k give or take for normal driving ... I shift around 6k when I get on it.

Rev-match!

Whenever yoiu're downshifting, whether it be to acellerate real quickly, or to engine brake into a turn, you should always try and blip your throttle just a little when you push the clutch. I deally you want it to hit the rpm that your engine will be at when you release the clutch. It helps keep all those hard -harsh engagements out of the question.
