I have been having troubles with shifting lately. Sometimes when I shift it will not go into gear while my car is running and even when i barely start it. Is it transmission problem..or does it has to do with clutch..it is getting irritating and dangerous when i am trying to shift gear..Also, sometimes going to reverse is hard too..it just bounce back to neutral when it doesn't go in..I appreciate if I can get some advice..Need to fix it soon.. Thanks for you time.

Sounds like shifter cables are stretched and needing replacement.

Throwout bearing and clutch probably need to be replaced. Mine is doing the same thing at times. My throwout bearing is so bad that while I drive, and let off the gas, the car JERKS hard. When I sit at a light and put the car in neutral, the bearing wines lol.

thanks for this post, i was wondering why my car jerks when i let off the gas, might be the noise im having when its below 65f and stops when warmed up.....was figuring it was drive line related and not mount related....after this trip i really need to stop blowing so much money on autogeek buying detailing stuff and get my butt to the pick and pull and get my transmission.....

thanks for all the comment..now it is so difficult for me to reverse..and of course it won't go into gear at some point while driving..i don't even want to drive it anymore..i shall get new clutch..

sounds like a bad clutch and throw out bearing,if you get a new clutch i highly recommed resurfacing your flywheel.(if you don't get a new flywheel)

Don't get a lighter flywheel unless you like your RPM's dropping drastically fast. Stick with a stock if you replace. The flywheel in the Celica is already pretty light compared to the other cars I've driven.
