What up all. Weird noises from my celica. Everytime I try to put this badboy in reverse today, the damn clutch just made that awful grinding noise. As if something was spinning and I was trying to stop it by putting a pole in the middle. But seriously, I put my car in reverse and for one, it was hard, I actually had to push it in harder than I should and do it quick. It doesn't do it for first-fifth, so what's going on? ANy takers? Also, it's getting a little harder to put my car in first gear and second gear and actually, any gear. This could just be my imagination, but it just seems that way. Anyone have this problem or know what's going on?

you need a new clutch. the springs on your clutch are all messed up.

damnit, if that's the case, that really sucks. I just had my clutch replaced about two years ago, maybe less. Hopefully it was less though, because if I need a new one, they need to be under warrantee. It just started grinding a lil bit going into 3rd to. And it's still hard to shift, but on and off. Like it'll be hard for a while, and then for a bit it becomes easy, and then it's hard as hell. And as far as my car being warmed up, no, it isn't usually, but for instance, when it is and I drive to class and put it in reverse to parallel park, it'll still do it, w/o me moving anywhere. It's an awful noise. Sometimes it gives me a break, but it grinds more often than not. Well thanks for the input guys, I'm gonna be takin' it to clutch doctors over spring break, so we'll soon see. For you guys having some similar problems, I'll tell you what the clutch doctor guys tell me, see if that can't help you out some.
