I HAVE A '92 TOYOTA 5 SPEED PICK-UP TRUCK AND FOR THE LAST 2 - 3 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO SHIFT GEARS. I FINALLY HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC (NOW THAT THE TRUCK IS JUST ABOUT UN-DRIVABLE) AND WAS TOLD THE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS IS CRACKED. THE CRACK ALLOWS THE BRACKET TO MOVE WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO NOT COMPLETELY DIS-ENGAGE MAKING IT VERY HARD IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT GEARS (OR GET IT OUT OF GEAR). I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND TALKED TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEA…

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2001: 3 complaints · 2003: 5 complaints
