I will def agree with you that in traffic an automatic is far better sitting in traffic. But most of my driving personally has moved to highways so not so much traffic unless I get caught in rush hour (which is rare).

It probably has and what I consider is a hard shift may just be normal for the car. Maybe just got to used to smooth shifting in the other cars. I've been "stuck" driving this thing full time for the past year due to being rear ended in one of dads work vehicles and instead of fixing it and...

That's exactly why the next car WILL be a manual. :yes:

Well, I checked the fluid and all looks fine :shifty:, so maybe I'm just a lil hard on her considering other vehicles I get to drive (other family members drive)from time to time ('07 duramax truck, '09 HHR, '13 Accord). :laughing:

I'm looking at lowering her a little bit 1.25"-2" max, and don't need the ability to do adjustment so I know I'd be going with lowering springs. What I'm wondering is what brands would be best but cheaper side for the springs themselves and new struts. :yes: Thinking best to swap out the whole...

Hey guys, new to the forum as of today and have a burning question that hopefully you guys can help me with. I (parents own) drive a 1997 Toyota Corolla CE with the 1.6L and the 3 speed auto. Not sure if there was a different call out but the motor is a 4AFE. I have found 4 speed automatics...
