Re: 2007 Scion tC Coolant smell ?
Personally , I HATE THE FJ, thankfully they dont make it anymore. They are very hard to drive and have a tremendous blind spot (drivers shoulders rearward). Sorry, there are allot of people who love them, your going to have to drive one and see for yourself.
FJ's are noisy, rattle, sqeak....etc... I call them (F'n-Junk. They use the same 4.0 as the Tacoma and it is a really good engine, only problems have been people not changing oil and either slugding them or stretching the timing chains, otherwise pretty buillit proof. The 6 speed manual is also the same as the Tacoma and it sucks, the same as aTacoma does. The Clutch Release bearing rides on a collar that is made into the bellhousing and is aluminum. That collar used to be steel and (see picture for what is happening). Thses pics are of a FJ throwout bearing and bellhousing and they are not the only ones.
