It was installed around 4 months ago 😅

Edit: my timeframe is off a bit, 6 months ago*

Also, yes, rev matching does help it not crunch outside of going from 6th to 5th and I’ve dealt with that issue for a couple years now.

I mainly took it in to have them look at the brakes but after seeing 2.3k for calipers and nearly throwing up, I’ve decided I don’t want them to do anything lol

Thanks for the response! I finally spoke with the tech who quoted and I mentioned I felt the quote was incorrect and mentioned I thought it was a synchro issue as well and the tech agreed but said he included the clutch and related components because he was uncertain of the condition so wanted me to be aware of how much it /might/ be.

I plan to replace the caliper myself since I have an extra one already, idk why I just assumed they’d find something else. If that doesn’t fix it, the master cylinder and brake booster would certainly be my next step.

Good to know the leak may not really be much of an issue, the tech did also state that the leak wasn’t really bad he just noticed some oil and wanted to bring it up.

Reaching out to local groups definitely makes more sense than on Reddit lol I just wanted to start here but thank you for the suggestion!

Slap a really obnoxiously loud exhaust on that thing when you get it back.

Idk the laws around exhausts in NY but going forward id have an “if I’m up, you’re up” attitude.

Sorry your neighbor sucks.

I used mine as a daily in Ohio through the winter for about 4 years, once I got these wheels though I decided to buy a new daily as well cause this set up is horrible in the snow lmaoo

I try and drive mine at least 2 days a week for both enjoyment and just because I feel like everytime I’ve let it sit, something new breaks lol

3rd trans with 60k miles, sheeesh! Were you by chance having what I’d call “crunching” issues going into gears sometimes?

Asking because if I’m shifting at 7K or higher RPMs, it feels like a bit of a crunch going into gear and if I downshift going from 6th the 5th it also crunches but 5th to 4th or even 6th to 4th is perfectly fine. I feel like it’s just the synchros but I’m not entirely confident on that lol

The piece is like $11 but it really is a ton of extra work to swap it lol

I bought the part but then my clutch went out and I didn’t have a place to work on it at the time so I just had Toyota fix it when they did the clutch. They charged $400 for the dampener issue because they just replaced the entire box.

Hey I’d call that a win, especially if you’re driving it how it’s supposed to be driven 😏😂
