Hi

The car's transmission has gears that shift to help the car move faster. If the transmission starts to slip or the car won't move, the transmission needs to be replaced. Manual transmission uses a gear shift.

Here are some basic steps for removing a manual transmission.

Use a floor jack to raise the car off the floor and put jack stands under the front and back of the car. Make sure the car is secure and won't fall on you.

Take all the electrical connectors loose from the transmission. Put a mark on the drive shaft so it can be put back in the same position. Remove the rear U joint from the output shaft. Put a rag in the extension housing to keep fluid from leaking out.

Take the speedometer cable and shift linkages loose from the transmission. Put a jack under the transmission and with a wrench, remove the rear engine support nut, the crossmember and the rear support insulator. Put a jack under the engine to support it and use the transmission jack to pull the transmission toward the rear of the car.

Take the old transmission off the transmission jack and put the new one on. Push the new transmission under the car, raising the jack as you go. Replace the rear support insulator, the crossmember and the engine rear support nuts.

Reconnect the shift linkages to the transmission and the speedometer cable. Replace the drive shaft back to the mark and replace the U joint. Reconnect the electrical connectors to the transmission. Use the floor jack to support the car while you remove the jack stands, then lower the car to the floor and remove the jack.

I know you might not want to take any advice from an automotive student, but did you check your catalytic convertor? We went over this in class last week and all the issues you are having I had with my same year Tacoma. Once I replaced my cat it runs fine now.

With the 2.4L....no relay... but found this....

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

As a first course of action I strongly suggest that you check the fuse for it can be blown that's why it's not working. If the fuse is fine then the problem surely will be on the cluster itself. If that's the case, the instrument cluster will surely need replacement.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

97 tacoma 2.4 no power to fuel pump. all fuses good,does this truck have a fuel safty switch and if so where did they hide it?
Thanks

A 1997 toyota doesnt have a cable but rather it uses a speed sensor, this is located at the rear of the tranny, that would mostlikely be the problem, unless this is the wrong year and then it may have a cable and the cable comes complete inner and outer covering, good day.

To much too type, there is a lot of details to this job, the best thing to do is to get a book on this particular vehicle, its about $20.00 at a auto parts store. This will give you all the timing marks, locations and torque specs ect....

Could be a bypassing clutch master or a leak in master, line or slave. Pumping pedal gets pressure up (just like your brakes) You can shift with engine off because nothing is spinning.

Sounds like a clutch related problem to me.. a few clues you gave.. the vibration.. sign of a worn pilot bearing.. clutch not engaging until top of pedal.. worn clutch lining.. the next thing will be slipping or grabbing..

At some point you will need to replace the clutch and pressure plate.. have the flywheel resurfaced.. insist on a new pilot bearing and inspect the clutch master and slave while all this is going on.

With good stick driving habits..and good components.. it could last a lot longer than the original.. if should go a lot longer.

Timing belt- your overdue by 8k miles if it hasn't been done.
You may want to replace the water pump, thermostat and drive belts while your at it.

Best of luck!

Best of luck

Check the clutch master cylinder and the clutch slave cylinder for proper operation... chances are the slave is bad.. I think this is located on the passenger side of the tranny.. you may have lost fluid during the install.. or introduced air into the system.

If you needed a new clutch.. it was probably time to at least flush that system and or replace the slave cylinder.. also check the spring on the clutch pedal..

I hope you replaced the throw out bearing and pressure plate when replacing the clutch.. I suspect you did.

You should have the older vac actuator. Make sure all the hoses are connected, and you don't have any leaks. The actuator can be tested with a vac gun. One hose engages and one disengages. It should only take 20 lbs of vac to move the actuator.

Good luck.

You could put in a turbo or increase air flow.
You could buy an aftermarket ecu which is tuned for performance.
You could also get a machinist to make the cylinder bores bigger and put in bigger pistons etc but this may be expensive.
Or replace the engine.

i would not reccomend changing transmission fluid yourself. do not do it!!!

to change transmission fluid and filter, you have to take the tranny pan off the bottom of the tranny and it will make a mess of fluid. then you have to carefully remove the old tranny pan gasket, which is best done with a special machine. if you fail to remove all of the gasaket, or damage the lip of the pan while removing the gasket, then the new tranny seal will leak, and the tranny will not hold fluid. tranny fluid and filter needs to be done in a professional shop where they have the correct equiptment.
