Hello all! New to the forums but I have been looking for a while. I obtained a 2001 about two months ago and it currently has 78,000, just about to cross over into 79,000. I do DoorDash with it which might seem foolish to some but it pays pretty good and I make sure to keep up with maintenance...

I have a 2003 Spyder with 1ZZ and stock 5-spd MT. The shift action up and down the gears is smooth except for a sometimes-notchy 2-3 shift (the 3-2 downshift, on the other hand, is never notchy). This is the pattern I've observed: if circumstances (i.e. traffic, speed limit) allow me to...
