Sqweek while shifting (MANUAL)

[dallas]

Anyone have this problem? my transmission or linkage seems to make a sqweek when shifting from 3 to 4th. I thought it was suspension at first.
Drive your Yaris with the windows down and see it if sqweeks from 3rd to 4th shift. Im going to the dealer to check it out will keep you posted.:thumbdown:

had this problem.. buy some jigaloo .. something like this to lubrificate :p it will stop after lol

[dallas]

Thanks ,so what did you spray the linkage and where?

[IllusionX]

same problem here...

i had this squeeking on my echo from 1st to 2nd.. now it happens on my yaris from 3rd to 4th. doesn't bother me though :P

I'm also having the same problems. If happens when I move the shifter. Even with the car off and my foot off the clutch, I still get the squeaking when I giggle the shifter (specifically toward 1st and 2nd gear...there's another linkage that seems to come into play when shifting toward 4th/5th that probably doesn't need greasing).

I took the the rubber boot off (comes of easily, just un-screw the shift nob and pull it out). There's some piston like linkage in their that seems to need some grease. Haven't greased it up yet, but will give it a try this weekend and have an update.

[OxyG3nE]

the problem is under the hood ..

[marcus]

Hey same here it keeps squeeking and squaking when ever i shift to any gear..im not sure if its my rubber ducky shifter upgrade..hmmm lolzz....

[dallas]

Found the solution: get some chain and cable lube, and spray the linkages from under the hood. Have someone shift for you (engine off, clutch depressed) while you look in the engine bay to see the linkage points. No more sweeks! :thumbup:

This only occurs when shifting from 1-2, downshifting from 3-2, and 2-1. Is there an "easy access" area that I can place some grease to stop this annoying squeak? I'm not too sure where it is coming from but I can hear it when the window is down or up.

Any suggestions?

I had that problem a while ago. My car was under warranty at the time, so I just brought it in. They greased it a few times, but it would only come back a week or so later. About my 5th trip to the 'ship, they replaced some part (which took 2 1/2 months for it to "come in") and greased it, but it hasn't squeaked since... if you want, I'll check the invoice to see what it is that they replaced.

[dallas]

I'm interested too, if I grease the linkage it stops for a few days then comes back!

[CompanyXPaladin]

I'm interested as well - same problem. IDK if it's related, but my clutch has started squeaking when the pedal is depressed sometimes..

that's the clutch bearing; it needs to be replaced.

[enobmort42]

well, i looked at my invoice and they replaced the lever assembly, part number 33530-52110, as well as greased it all up. it hasn't squeaked since (almost a year). then again, that dealership hasn't always been honest with me in the past...

[Doug007]

I shot some WD-40 on the shift linkage under the hood..took care of the problem.

[dallas]

Thanks for the part# :thumbup:

When i shift from first to second it squeaks but when i shift from other gears it is fine... also when i check that it is in nutral it squaks too.... what can it be?? my clutch is responding good so i don't think i need a new one.
What is it??? :iono:

[Snyprwlf47]

Its nothing much just a squeak in the shifter. Just go from the shifter to the transmission and find the squeak and put some grease on it.:smile:

[BUT3RFLY_YARIS]

ok cool...
thanx :thanks:

[djgab101]

mine does the same but from 2nd to 3rd as well!! better go get some grease ...

[toyota]

you know what my clutch squeaks too
whenever i press it down, i think i might to
put some grease on mine too.
anybody recomend any good brands
and how exactly do you put it on?

[BUT3RFLY_YARIS]

I actually had the same problem with what grease and how to do it.... so i figures since i still had like 10,000 miles b4 my warranty was i up i would use it... i took it to the delear and they put the grease on it.... no more squeaky for me.... lol
Thanx for all ur help though

[Snyprwlf47]

Yeah I found the squeak in mine if u look slightly down and to the right of your engine you can see the cables moving and just figure out which one is squeaking. I just use a heavyweight gun oil>.> Redneck I know but it seems to have worked!

[BUT3RFLY_YARIS]

cool... i will keep that in mind next time it happens, hopefully it doesn't, cuz i know for a fact i will be out of my warranty by then....

[aucorium]

i got the same squeak !! LOL , a yaris factory defect? maybe the cable should have been gaurded ?

[toyota]

i got the same squeak !! LOL , a yaris factory defect? maybe the cable should have been gaurded ?

seriously right?

but yeah, i will have to definetly
have to check it out!

[advocate]

This sounds really similar to a problem I'm starting to experience as well. I just broke the 28,000 mile mark on my yaris. I notice there's squeaking in the lower gears 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, as WELL as in neutral when moving the stick just left and right. Do you guys think this is the same problem? I'd like to have something to tell my mechanic when I take it in other than that the car makes a sqeaky noise when shifting.

[H3LlIoN]

Clutch springs are just squeaking. I just picked up my Yaris literally two days ago. It's got 117 miles on the odometer. Mine started doing it, so I had my roomate look at it. (He's an ASE Certified master mechanic employed as a full time tech at the local Toyota dealership) That's what he came back with. No cause for concern.

[yarisugi]

Squeak at the pedal area or the hydraulic piston area near the transmission? I've never had that problem yet, but on some of my older cars I just used WD-40 for the pedal joints. Not a permanent fix, but does the job for a while.

I had the same problem, I removed the little rubber boot by the hydraulic piston of the clutch and sprayed some amount of sea foam deep creep and worked great it’s been about 5 months and the noise hasn’t come back.

Hey Lucas,

Would you be able to take a picture of what you're talking about in this post? It would be GREATLY appreciated; I'm sure not just by myself. Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:

[shinlee]

yeah, mine sqeaks pretty bad as well

[Lucas13]

Hey nick.dollimount,

Here is the pic of what I did and took care of the noise, try to use a good lubricant; WD 40 will evaporate too quickly.

Let me know if this worked for you guys, good luck getting rid of the squeak

[Tamago]

Stypical toyota problem, every toyota does it. grease the pivot, you'll be good to go. i like my squeak, it adds classic toyota character to Sammakko

[thebarber]

my car has lots of character, too

[highwaypass]

apply some grease to the pedal's joint. Mine works :biggrin:

This seemed to have worked for me. I used spray white grease from Canadian Tire. It's been raining all yesterday and it was pretty muggy/foggy outside today and no squeaking.

Do you have a description/photo of what part you're talking about?

Great Im glad to hear that worked for you, this makes the yaris 5 years newer :biggrin:

Hey All - my 2008 has been doing the same thing for over a year...squeaks from 1-2 and 3-2. I greased the bushings with silicone lube, but it came back a short while later. Just this morning I noticed that my clutch was squeaking. I took it into the dealership and they were going to charge me a whopping $178.00 to lube the gear linkage bushings and the shifter stem...I said NO WAY. The car is under warranty. I asked what they were proposing to do about the squeaking clutch and was met with "uh, hang on a second"...they came back and said, no it's just your shifter stick. I turned around and said "I may be a woman, but I do know a bit about cars. I learned how to drive a standard and have always driven one...never to have this problem. I want it fixed and I want it covered under warranty. The car is ONLY TWO YEARS OLD.

They're replacing the gear linkage bushings, lubing it all up and are replacing the clutch bushings as well! All under warranty:) Sometimes you just have to advocate for yourself!!

[zachryboles]

yah......... lube the thing. this problem is mostly an engine bay issue and you simply grease the linkage. mine did this until i greased the thing now its fine.

[nick.dollimount]

Does anyone have a picture of the linkage and an explanation what parts to grease?
