I drive a 1997 Toyota Tercel with a manual transmission. Lately the clutch as felt a bit loose and I've had some trouble changing gears, almost as if me pushing on the clutch is registuring. I was wondering what could be the cause of this and if it is something that I can fix myself. I don't have much in the way tool though.

Fuel regulator, EGR vavle and EGR valve sensor. But this really sounds like a fuel issue. You can also check your fuel pump, and of course check your air filter and your spark plugs.

check the cap and rotor on the distributor. Make sure the tip of the rotor is clean and the inside contacts of the cap are clean also.

SOURCE: Where is the transmission fill on the manual

Check both sides of the gearbox for a plug (screw) simular to the drain plug on the bottom. This is a level screw remove it then on the bottle of trans. oil their should be a lid with a pipe on it put the pipe in the hole and squeze the bottle until the oil comes out of the hole in the gearbox.

low oil boiling water sometime automatically stop the engine for further damage. stop the engine wait for sometime. fill up oil/water. check fuse/switches for engine/lights/dimmer. re start.
