need help!!

Hi-ReV · 05-11-2008, 12:13 PM

so i was driving my friends celica gts and he told me to gun it so as i was shifting i accidentally shifted from 5 to 4 and it made a high pitched sound. we pulled over and it just died and so we started it and went to his house but everytime i shifted it i would hear this weird noise coming from the engine. when we got to his house everything was fine (it wouldn't die when in idle) but everytime we pushed in the clutch it would die. his check engine light and oil light is on. does anyone know what the problem might be? i feel really bad so whatever i messsed up i'll replace

It doesn't sound like "everything is fine". When the oil light comes on it means eminent engine failure. The check engine light is telling you to look at the warning lights and gauges. The wierd noise when you push the clutch in indicates a clutch problem. Have a mechanic look at the car before you drive it and wreck more stuff!!! These issues are likely the result of reving the engine beyond redline when you shifted from 5th to 4th. Might be an expensive driving lesson.

sounds like u killed 2 birds in 1 stone. when u push in the clutch and it makes a noise, then most likely its a clutch problem, if the oil light came on, then most likely its not circulating oil through the motor and thats a engine problem lol

Ummm... 5th to 4th at redline? if you're at redline in 5th gear you're probably going around ~120 mph. And at a fairly slow rate of acceleration at that point how'd you miss shift? I mean, "gunning it" in a celica gts in 5th gear is no spectacle...

Anyways, send that thing to a mechanic, and please don't fck around with others peoples cars, or with other people in your car, or with other people anywhere near your car PERIOD.

Does anyone find it ironic that this guys name is "Hi-ReV"

Sorry bro, I dont know how you did that from fifth, but if you did, mechanic time.
I hope you either have money.... or your friend really likes you... A LOT. This is not going to be cheap.

It sounds like the crankshaft thrust bearings might be gone. If that model uses an oil pump driven directly by the front of the crankshaft, that would explain the low oil pressure. The crank would push forward into the pump housing and damaging it when the clutch is disengaged.
