Remember when people used to complain about the 2ZZ in the Celica GTS being fragile, bending valves and exploding oil pumps? Well, I guess things have not changed a lot. Toyota still has not figured out how to eliminate malfunctioning operators and the dreaded "money shift".

Such miss-shifts are for sure not a good thing, but certainly they are not that un-common in a MT car.

There was nothing really wrong with the 2ZZ if driven, prepared and maintained properly either.
