2004 Celica

When you get in the car, you press the clutch pedal down and start the engine. Then, you release it slowly in first gear while holding down the accelerator to start moving.

Is this is not what you wanted to learn, perhaps you should provide more details about that which you want to learn.

I'm sorry I did not post a clear message. I'm having clutch trouble. When I release the clutch while it is in gear it doesn't move.

WHAT "doesn't move"? The clutch or the car?

With the engine running and the clutch pedal on the floor, can you easily and smoothly move the lever from gear to gear?

With the engine running and the clutch pedal on the floor, yes, I can easily and smoothly move the lever from gear to gear.

You probably need a new clutch. If the friction material is worn off, the vehicle will not move when it is engaged.

WHOA!!!!

On a *2004*?!?!?!?!

HOLY CRAP!!!!! What the hell is this person doing, one foot on the gas, one foot on the clutch, one foot on the brake?!?!

I have an '85 Corolla GTS in my backyard, 260,000 miles, ORIGINAL CLUTCH!!!

And I did NOT drive the car like an old lady!

Before that was an '80 Corolla SR-5 Coupe, 244,000 miles, ORIGINAL CLUTCH!!!

Didn't drive that like an old lady, either!

Perhaps the OP needs driving lessons?

Or, stop dropping the clutch at 6,500 RPM...

I saw a lot of sporty cars with young drivers and the clutch, tires, and brakes worn before 12,000 miles.
