Squeaky Transmission? 5MT - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

talnlnky · 08-16-2010, 09:25 PM

the shifter is acting up now.... i'm wondering if it ever would've made noise had I never sprayed it in the first place... (if its not broke don't fix it)... clutch isn't making noise tho, and that's good. I'll spray the shifter next time i do an oil filter change (sometime in the next week or two).

Finally got around to doing this. Much better. 1 question wtf if the clutch fort thing ur talking about a few posts up my clutch makes a squeak as well

My squeak keeps coming back and mine isn't the shifted but the clutch fork.

I sprayed some dry molt inside the boot but i guess that was a ten fix.

Off to thedealer i go sadly.

Just asked the service advisor at my dealer about lubricating the manual transmission components and he said they never need lubrication because they are all sealed.

Huh?

Funny thing is that a mecanic from a local shop told me the same, he said I'll have to remove the transmision to lub it... . my biggest squick was when I press the clutch pedal, was making a huge squick! The toyota dealer fixed it for 28$.

^ from my experience I've learned that 90% of what dealers say is complete BS!

But usually it's the type of BS that tries to sell you something. I was ready to pay a reasonable price to perform the lubrication described in this thread. Go figure.

Toyota guy after I tooked the yaris in for the squeaky sound: "the squeaky sound is normal" ...

This make me think about how much dedication the Toyota dealerships put on selecting their mechanics, I've had some really heated conversations with the service department because of things like theses

I took my sedan back to the same dealership I bought it from to kill some time, some time ago, and one of the salesmen there asked me if my car was a Scion. wtf? lmao. FAIL!

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-19-2010, 12:45 AM

Bump for this thread as mine started to do the squeak (I guess mine is a late bloomer since I'm over 60k miles and 4 years, lol).

Bluevitz-rs · 12-19-2010, 11:09 PM

I dare the next person in to their dealer to ask the Service advisor if they've ever actually worked on one of these cars! HAHAHA

TickleTimeTim · 10-01-2011, 11:53 AM

finally did this, thank god. just used valvoline multi purpose grease.

dwrf6 · 10-31-2011, 12:30 AM

Same thing started on mine, '07 3dr, thanks for the fix.

lmbk88 · 03-12-2012, 10:35 PM

Finally decided to get the squeak checked out. My first mistake was going to the dealer first instead of checking this forum. They determined the noise was coming from the clutch pivot and clutch fork. They also want to charge me $1380 to drop the transmission to "fix" it in addition to some bearing that's inside the transmission. :P I think the mechanic at the dealer lubed it though, because the squeak is gone and it's shifting really nice now. Who knew such an easy fix existed? I've been living with the squeak I think since the first year and I bought in April 2006! It was intermittent at first and lately just became too often to ignore. I think I will wait and see how it goes.

First hot day here in SO CAL since getting the Yaris and yes I got the squeak. Used this awesome forum and a few drops of Tri Flow and SILENCE!

Thanks so much!

Thank you!! :D

Folks, I took mine to the dealership and they replaced the ENTIRE shifter bushing set. It was ceased. You can try lubricating, but the squeak will come back...the mechanic couldn't believe the state it was in...
