Do you have a pic of what it looked like? Cause i have less then 8 thousand miles before my 100 thousand mile warranty is up. I would like to get this fixed

OK so I signed up to see the photo of where to lubricate but I know absolutely ZERO about cars, can you point me to where under the hood this is located? You can reference obvious things like battery, oil dipstick, etc. but back/front, left/right would be helpful. Thanks!

While standing in front of the engine bay, it is straight down on the right. You should see it below the air box/intake. I suggest having someone shift through the gears while you are staring down, you will see the moving parts. I had my wife shifting while i sprayed the lubricant; turned out just fine (and quiet). Hope this helps, good luck.

Fixed mine too! After listening to it for 2 years I finally had enough.

Hi all I'm new here, does any body know if the same thing is on yaris MMT transmission? as TOYOTA said it is the same transmission , only robot rules it.
Sorry for my poor english.

My 09 started this today. Called dealer first. 7 days out of warranty and he said they would have to charge me for checking it out. Did a search and found this. Thanks much! Worked great and shifts much smoother as well.

My new to me 08 hatch 5speed is doing this squeak into 2nd and third. Glad to know its an easy fix!

jpmck03 · 10-05-2012, 10:43 PM

Bump.

Did this today and I'm glad to say that I'm squeak free!

reggaetonfreak · 10-14-2012, 04:58 PM

So I bumped into this thread today by mistake, and now im gonna go fix my squeak too. Thank you for the info!

johnbob · 12-10-2012, 09:14 PM

One less squeak in my world! Thanks for the tweak Kou.

watersoilair · 12-12-2012, 04:04 PM

My issue has come back as well... Sigh. Only happens in dry weather. Along with the clutch shudder when it's wet out. I will be taking it back to the dealership as well. Actually, I'm going to call the head office in Toronto, Canada. Cheap parts!!!

Just did this today and made a video.

I noticed a weak chirping sound last Friday, between 1st to 2nd gear, and 2nd to 3rd. Chirp-chirp is what I hear. I've been worried sick over having to take my car in--of course, the factory warranty was over in June. I have just over 23K mileage on mine.

So...is it lithium spray grease or silicone spray? Which is the best? I hope I can find the spot and this fixes it.

I wouldn't be worried. I have 93k on my 07', it hasn't had a single repair in that time. I've changed the oil on time of course, new tires, just replaced the front brake pads. Hell of a reliable car.

Just lubed up the linkage yesterday, zero squeak :). Thanks for this thread! Now to solve the squeaking when I release the brake pedal.

Wish I could acomplish this as well. Already took off the drum and cleaned the drivers side rear brakes and everything. Squeak went away for about 4-5 stops. Now its back in all its glory, heh.

I gave up.

DebbyM46227 · 07-29-2013, 09:40 PM

White lithium grease spray was only $2.47 a can at Walmart. 30 seconds of my time and my squeak is gone! :) Kind of awkward due to the radiator hose being in the way.

bryanhoule · 08-16-2013, 05:22 PM

I had the same squeak. I'm at about 83,000 miles. If you like instant gratification, this is a good one! WOW! Problem fixed the INSTANT i sprayed the part highlighted with the yellow circle and two yellow dots. WAY smoother shifting now, way less friction!. Huge difference (and I just changed my manual transmission oil to the Redline MT-90 stuff, and that helped slightly but was nothing compared to lubing these shifting linkages). I used Johnsen's Multi-Purpose Silicone Lubricant. Time will tell how long it lasts. If it lasts a long time, good, if not, next time I'm going to use a White Lithium Grease Spray. I removed the intake air filter box to make the access easier, but it's not completely necessary. Also, while my friend moved the stick through the gears, I sprayed all the moving parts, not just the "yellow circle with two dots" part. Thanks guys! This is a great forum!
