So I got a 1994 celica 2.2. It has 180,000. I bought it needing a clutch. So i got the clutch and put it in. It was a pain in the ass. Finally after the clutch was said and done i take the car on the highway, engine got hot, and when i got home, i left it running and the radiator blew everywhere. THe power steering leaks, the drivers side door doesnt open, the battery is dead and the starter is no good. Dont know what im doing posting this, but im ready to throw this car in the trash. Not to mention i transferred registration today from a car that works fine to that piece, and now i have nothing to drive. I like this car, but hate it so much.

as the guys said, if you replaced the clutch yourself then you shouldnt be whining at all, i know how it is getting frustrated over little things as my celi was the same thing, when i first got the car the speedometer didnt work at all, timing belt needs to be replaced, a/c had to be recharged,brake rotors had to be replaced, car overheats due to a stuck thermostat, radiotor cracked, and other things, not to mention the old owner did not take care of the car at all, dings and dents everywhere, the car was burning oil, and oil was barely changed probably every 5 months lol...good thing my uncle worked at a local toyota dealership, so he took care of the rest and now it sits wayy better than how it was 2 years ago
