Help! I've got a weird sound
ok so I have been a member for a while but this is my first post...
I have a 2009 3 door LB with a manual transmission... (his name is Yoshi BTW) he has about 33,000 miles on him and I just recently drove him cross country after having him being driven by my mom for three months (plus I really don't know her driving habits) well my problem is that I have just noticed that when I shift from 1st gear into 2nd and sometimes when I shift into higher gears I hear a "chirp" from the engine area.  The sound is best described as if there where a single cricket in my transmission that got poked when I up shifted. I havent noticed any thing different in the way that he drives or shifts but the sound scares me! should I be scared? Is it something that I should be worried about? or checked out? |

My daughter's 2001 Echo was named Yoshi.
I don't think a single brief squeak on shifting sounds serious. Perhaps a synchronizer engaging. Maybe just a squeaky joint in the shift linkage. |

hahaha yeah He got his name because he looks like the character on an old Super Nintendo game Yoshi's Island ... there was even one that was the same color!
so none of those things are serious? because all those things sound kinda bad if you don't know anything about cars! lol |

I don't think so.
My kids played Yoshi's Island, too. |

My Yaris has the same problem, and I searched on here a while ago and found this, which is really helpful. The squeak seems to be a common problem. Mine only started with around 35,000km clocked up, and was originally only when up-shifting from 2nd to 3rd .. But more recently it has started from 4th to 5th as well. This will show you how to fix it. Squeaky Gears Hope it helps! Last edited by Bella; 06-07-2010 at 06:07 AM. Reason: Fixed the link! |

So I just went to the dealership and told them what was wrong with the car and the guy says "Hold on lemme find out how much I am going to charge you for that"
I replied simply "nothing! Its covered under warranty" but he went to check anyway. He came back after talking to the mechanic and said that he was going to have too charge me a 125$ diagnostic labor fee and then "IF" the squeak is not "the drivers fault" then he will waive the 125$ fee... but if they find something else then they will hold the car until I pay...  I of course did not bring any money with me said "NO! all you have to do is grease it ... i Don't want a diagnostic.... and your not gonna charge me!" He replied: " And I am just supposed take your word for it that thats all that needs to be done"? I said: "just like I'm supposed to take your word for it when you come back with some absurd reason on why its not covered under the warranty!" so He refused to budge and neither did I and i eventually just told him to bring my car back around and that I will do it myself! and I stormed out  So I see the thread that Bella posted but is there something more detailed/step by step that will help me further? for example I don't know where the things in the picture are even located! |

Bella: Awesome thanks.... but is that something that someone who is completely mechanically declined can do or should I rather have a pro look @ it and bite the financial bullet?
better yet is there someone on here that lives near Monterey, CA that can do it for me?! lol (just kiddin... or not lol) |

Perhaps bring it up with Toyota next time you go in for a service - You're still under warranty so they should be able to fix it up for you! |

It also seems to me dealership sensory ability is strongly affected by one's warranty status.
