How do I remove these clips? - 6G Celicas Forums

6th Generation Celica › Engine/Transmission/Maintenance

I ended up just taking them off the shifter. Turned out to be easy that way. Now I just have to get the rear engine mount off, and it can all come out!

So they're still stuck! I'm thinking, if I can't get them off tomorrow, I'll have to disconnect the cables from the shifter itself in order to pull the trans. How do I do that? I looked at it briefly ...

Well I just tried it, and they still won't move! The clips are soaking in PB Blaster now, I'll try it again in an hour or so and hopefully they'll come out.

So I'm almost ready to pull my engine and trans, all I need to do now is undo the mounts and it can come right out. Except for the shifter cables, they're held in by these C-clips that I can't get out...

What brand was it? I've never heard a single good thing about those products, unless the car was destined for the scrap yard anyway and the owner just wanted to keep it going a bit longer before its i...

That's not your problem. That's an easy fix. The real problem is that you poured stop leak into your cooling system. I suggest you flush it out now before it does any damage, if it's not already too l...

6th Generation Celica › Engine/Transmission/Maintenance

I know this, but I'm working on the floor here, so I figure I may as well just pull it. Plus I plan to swap in a v6 next year, so knowing how to pull the 5s before I start that would make things easie...

6th Generation Celica › Engine/Transmission/Maintenance

So I have to replace my clutch, and I decided to just pull the engine and trans out together to (hopefully) make it easier for me. I'm in no rush since I don't have an engine hoist yet, but I'd like t...

right engine oil for my celica gt - 6G Celicas Forums

6th Generation Celica › Engine/Transmission/Maintenance

Why would you use 0w40? It says 10w30 right on the oil cap. This isn't some super advanced, direct injected engine, it's a run of the mill DOHC 4 cylinder.
P.S. - don't use synthetic either. No point....

6th Generation Celica › Engine/Transmission/Maintenance

Today I was doing a tuneup on my car, '94 5S-FE. As I removed the spark plugs, numbers 1 and 2 were fine, but 3 and 4 each had oil on the top of them, a little bit of oil was on the threads but I figu...

I also need the passenger airbag (complete) and the two front sensors. I'd say $90 shipped for all of it.
