It had a punch like a turbo up around 6k, and although it wasnt a torque engine, and the power only really appeared up top, the rest of the rev range was still ultra smooth and free revving. It never annoyed me in the middle like the 86, you just got the thrill of up top. All personal opinions of course. I certainly miss that engine more than the 86, but overall the 86 was a FAR superior car feel - I never loved the corolla, but I was smitten with the 86. |

What are you talking about? Short shift=shifting early. If I left the car in third and waited to shift at the ideal time when the engine is revved all the way out, my position on track wouldn't allow a shift so I go to 4th early. Short shifting is a situational technique, not anything to do with a problem.

There is a reported issue for some with changing gears from 3rd to 4th over 6000, so I thought perhaps you were avoiding it. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37129 https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37622 https://www.reddit.com/r/ft86/commen...th_gear_grind/ Oh and I ask about the rocker arms only because that link I posted to you indicated an issue that seemed to occur over time and was potentially fixable if you could catch it. I've got a limited understanding of it I guess, again just curious. |

I have never understood the big deal at all about the “torque dip”. Granted I have a 2017 and maybe the gearing change made a big difference, but I just don’t get it. IMO it’s just a non-issue. If you want around town stop and go and good mileage, stay below 5000 rpm and there’s plenty of torque to move the car well if you choose the right gear. Choosing the right gear is everything. If you want balls out fun and to wring the car for all it’s worth, keep it above 5000 rpm at all times. Plenty of torque and power for whatever you want to do. I can always find a gear and an rpm to do exactly what I want, whether that’s getting 34 mpg, or sideways fun around a really good visibility curve or turn. Either one is easy peasy. Just gotta choose the right gear.

Well neither wants to be the one in back due to emissions.
