Corolla 2E Clutch Problem

[Kent Astudillo]

I have a Corolla XE 1.3 2E engine (EE100?) nung binili namin to 64k yung ODO. Matigas yung clutch niya, sabi sakin ng owner ganun daw talaga yun, para daw lumambot yung clutch papalitan daw ng mas malaking gear box. So, recently nasira yung clutch, kasi kapag nagchachange gear ako from neutral to 1st gear, parang mamatay yung makina kahit pano ko itiming. So pinaayus ko, sabi sakin ng mekaniko, kinain daw yung clutch disc at pressure plate kaya pinapalitan ko. Nung naayus na nila, lumambot na yung clutch mas malambot pa sa gas pedal. Pero after a month tumigas na naman, bumalik sa dati, normal lang ba yun? Sabi nila sakin normal lang daw yun kasi di daw pede malambot yung clutch, magseseat (tama ba ?) pa daw yung clutch. Recently din nasira na naman, pinalitan lang ng repair kit. Wala kasi akong knowledge about engines sana masagot niyu, .

napalitan ba ng previous owner ang transmission?
may napapansin ka bang oil leak sa ilalim ng transmission?

newly installed clutch assembly, the clutch pedal is typically soft. but after a while, mating surfaces become rougher with use, and the clutch pedal becomes harder. in your case, it seems the wear and tear appears to be accelerated.. my first question, is your replacement part of good quality? my second question is, is your transmission ok?

mas ideal po na dapat matigas ang feel kapag inaapakan clutch pedal, indication yun na makapit ang clutch set mo kesa sa malambot.

sir.. yung pinalit mo bang piyesa ay lahat OEM (original toyota parts - clutch disk, pressure plate at release bearing)? kse yung mga replacement na piyesa usually buwan lang tinatagal nyan tapos matigas na ulit..

tsaka pagkinabit dapat lapat na lapat yung clutch disk sa pressure plate at tama yung adjustment ng release bearing kse iingay yan pagmali ang pagkabit..

na experience ko na rin yan way back at sinabihan ako ng aking suking mekaniko na pagmagpapalit ng piyesa dapat oem ang ipalit sa lahat ng moving parts ng engine at clutch.. so far hanggang ngayon sinusunod ko yun at mukang tama nga sya based on experience..

I have the same model as you do.. definitely not the engine life though.. i have 200k on the odo and yes there are times when the clutch didnt want to bite especially during start stop situations leading to a stalled engine. I had to drive it very softly during start stop traffic... i mean hindi pwedeng biglaang todo apak ng clutch.. it had to be gradual like when i accelerate from a stand still. So i had to anticipate when the car in front will stop so i can let the car coast while gently pulling the clutch in.
