that kinda made me nervous... it started bucking, and it was arking over to my aluminum intake, so I heard the ticking and it sounded like a valve, lol, I was all kinda worried. I had my eye's glued to my temp and oil pressure guage untill I got there and popped the hood...
The worst one I've ever had was years and years ago. I had this 76 Ford pickup, lowered, 40 series MT street slicks, 390 out of a 64 T-bird punched to a 424 and I spent 150$ on some custom cut 14mm plug wires. Well the damn wires had a bad habit of breaking inside and they'd cause a missfire under full throttle. Well I'm on the way to the local "hot shop" to trade them in, lifetime warranty, and at about 130mph the wire from the coil cuts out for about 30 feet. When it makes connection again (the entire time I've got my foot DEEP into it) it fires the power plant back up and ignites all the unburnt fuel in the exhaust. The headers split from the head to the collection boxes and the twin 48" glasspacks split on top and bottom. The explosion out of the ass end blew the 5" tips off the rig and launched them into the median, never found those.

The good thing was that the company that made the wires paid for a new exhaust system on my truck. Scared the hell out of me and folks behind me though. My girlfriend went from damp to locked up in about 50 feet, man she was scared.

I've got an idea.

Just try to rebuild the sucker.

It seems that with the luck you had rebuilding your engine, the transmission just might be fubar after the attempt!

haha... i agree that yotas like to bail on us when we can least afford it...
the day i bought my runner, i was driving 75 miles home, by myself, never having driven a manual before, and the dang clutch goes when im doin 70 on the hiway...
it started smoking white smoke like crazy, and i kept giving it gas thinking it might help...
lol... sat on the side of the hiway for an hour by myself waiting for the towtruck...

I'll refrain from what I'm actually going to say. But it still runs after 8k miles later. Sure, burns a little oil. But who cares.

Don't worry TOYOTA 1, I'm not going to rebuild this tranny.
