Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior 2 Things I need some help on...Please

1st thing real easy...

I want to buy the ground wire kit but I have a couple of things I would like to know: 1) I saw the line drawing in the INSTALLS section and counted 7 points of contact or so it appears, yet I see only five points listed and five wires...Could I get 2 extra pieces to complete the 7 if applicapble. 2) And how much will it set me back, with or without the 2 extra pieces? Thanks in advance to SIR Isaac and anyone else who should you reply before I get back online.

2nd Thing...not so easy...

I got in my car the last 3 mornings and pressed the clutch pedal down and heard creaking squeak coming what I thought was the pedal, well I get under the dash to check out pedal to see if its the culprit and nope. So I open the hood and have a friend press the pedal and I hear the noise even louder...its coming from inside the tranmission housing where the clutch master cylinder forces a linkage to enter the tranmission via a rubber boot. Each morning it was humid and cool, and the noise was gone after driving for a while, and did not return unitl the following morning. My ccar is due for a 40,000mi SVC in 1 week and the clutch sticks well no performance loss..just a scary sound. I would go to the dealer service center, but its Sunday, and I would like heads up from anyone out there so I can have general idea what they might say it is.

I did a ecelica seearch and goolge search but nothing fitting the description I've listed, for either the 1st or 2nd thing...Thanks to all again!!

Ummm...

1. You don't need the extra 2 wires you talk about. Maybe if you could post a picture of the diagram, we can answer it for you.

2. That rubber boot thing is your slave cylinder. Go ahead and give it a lube with some WD40. Have a friend work the clutch and the gears while you spray.

I circled the 7 points in white, the 2 points I am talking about start from the (-) terminal to the bulkhead (1), then from the bulkhead the the body earth on the left strut tower(2). I read over the schematic and they aren't necessary but I am thinking why not go all out. I would like to know if they can be added, for a reasonalbe price that is

And I lubed the linkage going to that boot but no luck...still creaking until she gets warm. So I'll have the dealer check it out.

Thanks!

Are you low on clutch fluid?

Good idea Dan, I don't recall seeing a seperate reservoir for the clutch fluid, does it run on the same hydrualic system as the brakes? I will check around before I leave my campus today...Thanks!!
