So on Monday I took my car to the dealership (stealership is what it should be called), because my shifter was acting up again. For those who did not know what was happening, it was really stiff and was really hard to shift gears, and getting it in reverse, forget it. It was like the clutch was not disengaging.
So the dealer tells me the clutch is trashed. "Abuse" they say. Yeah.......doubt that. In less then 40,000km the TRD clutch is done! If it was abuse, the tires would be gone too but they are more then just fine.
So with the other things I wanted fixed (front sway bar link, exhaust leak, AND new shifter cables), it was going to cost me over $3000 CDN!! NO WAY!! I bitched and complained and told them that I had phoned Toyota Canada already (which I had), and all of a sudden they are going to give me a huge discount on the labour and on all the parts. So now my bill will be $1900!! For everything! And I am buying a Gripforce Stage 2 clutch for the car, which costs $400 less then the TRD clutch, and is much better and can take more power and "abuse".
I should be getting my car back by the middle of next week, and it will be like new. I can't wait!!
