I have a manual 1995 corolla and for a bit now getting it moving in first gear has been tougher than usual - as if its lacking torque. you have to give it extra gas, and on hills a stupid amount of gas to get it moving.
Everyonce in a while when you back down to idle the rpms will go down to about 500 but then come back up to 800.
last night while turning a corner it made a funky noise in first and 2nd gears but then dissapeared.
When i have to take longer trips in it (even 20 mins or so) i can feel it the car getting much weaker.
my question is could it be anything other than the transmission? perhaps the tranny fluid or something?
also i had a tune up recently and oil change.
