Hello everyone,
As you know I have been on the board along time. I have had my Celica for 4 years as of a week ago. I consider myself very capable of driving it and have done so for 4 years with no problems. Well last night I was accelerating on the freeway onramp. I redlined in third gear and was shifting into 4th, well it turn out to go in to second. I let the clutch out really fast. The revs jumped high not sure how high cause I had it back out of gear before i could look at the tach. No nasty sounds or anything. So I am coasting and the engine dies. I start it up again. Drive it off the exit and into a parking lot. Car is idling ruff. No smoke or anything under any RPM. No Oil light. Oil level is fine. I dont see any leaks. The engine sounds fine as soon as you rev it. I have had a previous check engine light from before so I cant say if the light is related to the misshift cause it was already there due to a bad second O2 sensor. So I reset the computer and the light stayed off for about 10-15min so i think if it was an enginge related problem it would be on sooner.
This is the unusual part. The clutch pedal has gone to hell its really spongy. If I start the car in gear with the clutch depressed it pushs the car so I know that the clutch in not disengaging. The clutch petal even got stuck down once. I cant shift the gear without RPM matching cause the clutch is not disengaging. The gears shift fine with the car off so I dont think something is wrong with the transmission itself. So I checked my plugs and coils and they smell a little hot but I dont know what coils are supposed to smell like or how to check them? My plugs are dirty they needed to be changed anyway. I drove the car around the block a little. The engine gets a buzzing vibration at about 3500-4000 RPM and up. The car with idle but die sometimes the engine sounds fine the valves are loud but they have always been loud I dont think anything is wrong there because my exhuast is so clean. The rough idle has a vibration to it almost like its under a load. So my guess is that the results of this misshift are something is destroyed in the clutch assembly rather then then engine? Any idea or thoughts would help very much? I am pulling the transmission tomorrow to look at the clutch to see whats up. I just hope my engine is ok, cause it sound fine reving it. Idles like its under a huge load and the drivetrain feels really bad when driving. The vibrations and buzzing are bad when the car in moving under load. I can feel it in the steering and the shifter. The power delivery of the car feels normal. I did not go into cams, not till I know more. I need help I cant figure this out?
