I just had this serviced today. The problem was the pivot point on cluch fork needing lubricant.

Apparently all you hafta do is lube the clutch fork pivot point. Et voila.

Hope that helps.

I have no idea where this part is.. and I've searched everywhere on the internet and can't find it. Can somebody please take a picture farther back or maybe make a small how-to? Thanks. =D

It is located right below the air intake. It might be a bit hard to see if your intake is OEM, but it should still be reachable without having to remove it.

When had my car in for its regular 6 mo/8,000 km maintenance appt, i had them fix this issue. Just needed a little lubrication. All is fine now. :)

Well this issue magically re-appeared again on Tues night and has been off and on since then.

I actually asked a Toyota mechanic what the prob was, what was causing my shifter to be squeaking again when shifting into third and usually when shifting out of 2nd and 4th even.

He said that the shifter cables just need some lube, is all. Nothing really serious. When I take my car in for its 80,000 km at end of July, I'll have it taken care of then.

He said its nothing to worry abt, and that leaving it be until then wouldnt damage my car or cause any wear or trear (due to lack of lubrication).

(I just didnt feel like paying another $25 in labour to have it lubed today)

Ill deal with it / ignore it until next servicing in abt a month and a half.

Will update again once all is cleared up.

Re: Clutch squeak

Maybe to help identify your problem, could you determine if the squeak is coming from the engine bay or inside the cabin?

If it's inside the cabin, it's probably just a hinge for the pedal itself which you could probably shoot some lithium grease at inside the cabin. If it's inside the engine bay then maybe there's some friction on the clutch cable (I think these are cable-actuated clutch vehicles, not hydraulic). Though if the squeak is coming from insdie the bell housing, then that's probably something you can't fix without opening up the trans housing to get at the clutch spring.

These are hydraulic clutch actuation. I wouldnt put petro-grease on a plastic part w/o first knowing compatibility - some lubes could soften the plastic then you'll be worse off pretty soon. If desparate, Most plastics can tolerate coconut oil and milkfat youll find around the kitchen. Dont laugh - good lubricants!

Mine's been acting up over the weekend while shifting from 2nd to neutral, and again into 1st. Will run out tomorrow to get grease thanks to this thread

Where is this part located in this?

az_saguaro · 11-23-2009, 09:55 PM

Definitely needs to be sticky. I have had this squeak for over a year and never felt motivated enough to track it down. Thanks to this thread I went out, verified it was this linkage and lubed it up. Squeak free hooray!

v-tech · 11-24-2009, 12:22 PM

I read over this post and had the same problem. It was around 56,000 km that it started. If I shifted between 2nd - 3rd and 3rd - 4th then 4th - 5th. I took it into Toyota since the car was under the 60,000 km bumper to bumper warranty and I had only owned it for a little over a year. They went over the car, took them an hour. When they explained it to me I asked to talk to the mechanic. His words were "Lubed the linkage in the engine and around the transmission, but this didn't fix the problem. Took apart the center console inside the car, lubed around the stick and this fixed the squeaking". Toyota tried to charge me for the hours labor because they said "this is regular maintenance that I should be doing on my own" I asked for the service manager who said the same thing, so i told him, if you can find in my manual where it says to pull apart the center console and lube around the stick shift, then I'll pay you. after about 20 min of arguing they gave it to me for free. I really hate the dealerships.

No more squeaking.

I used wd-40 over a year ago now and I still don't have a squeak anymore.

*tk-421* · 01-14-2010, 01:54 AM

WD-40 is fine. Just don't expect it to be a permanent solution.

don't use WD-40 especially on rubbers. Use Silicone oil instead.

+2 on don't use WD=40. It's not really a lubricant. It will dry and become gummy.
