Squeaky Transmission? 5MT

[junorico24]

I sprayed lithium grease on the linkage with great result the squeak disappeared.

But is it a sign that there's something wrong with the linkage? Like it needs to be replaced? because it's worn or something etc.

My Yari is going great i'm happy to report it's an 07, 3-door hatch, 1.5 ltr engine.It's done 155 556 km and it's still going and keeps going. Touch wood!

I sprayed the linkage added red line mt 90 along with nulon gearbox treatment. I changed the plugs, air filter, oil filter and of course did regular engine oil changes using full synthetic.

Had wheel alignment and it's going well. I feel a bit of an improvement to the way it's running. Touch wood hoping it continues.

Next in line is front brake pad change :)

Fixed my squeek with this as well.. first tried the silicone spray.. lasted about 2 weeks.. came back with lithium grease the second time.. been squeek free for a couple months now. :)

Yeah I was also using silicone for this, but it turns out that stuff only works while its viscosity is just right... After that it ends up making things worse, according to the mechanic.

Just take the drums off and clean the dust out. The squeak should go away.

I also just oiled the yellow circled section and the problem went away immediately. When I had the car up on my ramps doing the gear oil I gave it an extra shot of spray from underneath too for extra luck. Unfortunately I used silicone spray because it was on sale for 2.50 a can and the white lithium grease spray was 8.99 lol.

Soooo, for the record, my silicone spray lasted only 1 day per lube. I sprayed with white lithium that I had to go back to the store and buy 5 days ago and its still not squeaking. Don't waste your time with silicone spray.

Does this also apply to automatic transmissions? Because my car has had a similar squeek for 3 months now ...

No. An automatic does not have the mechanism that this thread is discussing.

hey guys i just registered. im from the philippines and got a 2014 vios which is sort of a sibling of the yaris. found this thread due to a squeak in shifting gears (manual). so anyway thanks to the thread starter my problem got a quick fix instead of lining up in the dealership. i used an ordinary oil lubricant with paintbrush and glazed the joints.

the cause of the squeak, as recalled, was by engine wash. some newbie overdid it using a pressure wash. so a tip out there for squeaking shift gears after an engine wash, the grease from the shift joints inside the engine bay must have absorbed some water and in the process pushed away some of the lunricants.

hope this reply helps.

super thanks to this thread!

Can this work in an automatic gearbox?

[komichal]

Is this engine-dependent?
My Yaris 2007 uses 2SZ-FE engine and I am not able to find this part in the engine compartment...

[CrankyOldMan]

No, the auto gearbox does not have the clutch lever. Must be something else.

[xdarkxfirex]

What about the automatic? I get a squeaking sound shifting into d or taking off most times

[Bluevitz-rs]

could be a bad motor mount

I just recently replaced my Clutch/pressure plate/throw-bearing ........and in fact i replaced the whole transmission gear box in my car. The squeak is coming from the fork pivot point and also the throw-bearing when it pushes the fingers of the pressure plate. Just put a little coating of grease on those parts and ........problem solved- NO MORE SQUEAK.

I just stuck a straw in there from a can of lithium grease and sprayed. I also sprayed it on all the shift linkages on top of the transmission. My squeak went away and has been for a couple months now.

FWIW I had a squeak when i'd depress the clutch pedal

[esse10]

oh okay, I was skeptical about doing that cause you don't want to spray the clutch disc or something that'll cause more harm or start slipping. I was thinking if maybe I can get a camera probe in there to see what specific parts to lube or not.
