Preventative Maintenance? Options

[Alchemist_57]

Okay, with the ignition system, i kno the cap is simple enuff to replace. But what about the rotor/distibutor? How would i go about swapping a new one in?
I have also heard that if they aren't adjusted propery, the timing will be WAY off.


I've noticed recently that it's extremely hard for me to shift in to first gear. It doesn't ALWAYS do that. It's just there's times when the light turns green and it refuses to go into first so i have to start off in 2nd.
I think the problem lies with my shift cables. Where would i get new ones from? and is it hard to replace them?


i appreciate any input, folks.

I would recommend everything 94 GT suggested. Especially the manual. I have all kinds of manuals in my garage because I have bought one for almost every vehicle I have ever owned. The manual is probably the most valuable tool you will have. In fact, I believe I have three for Celicas. I am not sure of the year ranges. If you are interested, I can mail one to you COD. I'll check the model years tonight but I think I may have you covered. I'm only concerned with paying for the postage.

The only other suggestion I have is to check the timing with the light before you even loosen the distrubutor nut. In many cases it is already fine.
