hi everyone

i got a bit of a problem with my car ive had this problem since i got
my car(2 years ago) but now i want to fix it. Ive got a 1.3 toyota
starlet and it is slow to move off from a standing start, i have to
rev the first gear a bit before it moves a bit more.All other cars
start off faster than me, also my first gear always shakes a bit at
binding point.

any ideas?Gearbox rebuild? engine tune up?

appreciate your help

wai

Sounds like bad clutch habits to me.

Probably needs a clutch

You did not tell us the mileage, but my guess is that you need a new clutch.
