07 Yaris Sedan Manual Tranny Problems
I've read a lot of posts on Yaris Manual Transmissions on this site, and found that a lot of people dislike the way their car shifts. I feel like I describe my shifting problems a little different that most people have.
The Problem:(hard to explain) 75% of the time when I shift to and from any gear the shifting feels rough and like I'm rubbing up against something at certain point during the shift. Also, when I am coming to a stop I can shift to gear 1 until I'm completely stop (it just won't let me). Same thing with gear 2 - I can down shift to it until I'm around 10-13 mph. Needless to say both problems are very irritating. Since I'm still under Drivetrain warranty for another year, I took it in to the local Toyota dealership about 2 month ago (been busy). I explained to them what I've been experiencing, but I only felt like the rough shifting was a problem at that point (keep in mind I knew nothing of this sight before going in, and that this was a coming thing). This is what they told me: So they tell me the shifter is worn, and I decline because that sounds pretty crazy for an 07 with 35k miles to have a worn shifter. I've recently took of the cover off and took some photos to see if the shifter was really worn (whatever that means). I took the photos of the shifter exactly how I found it - not sure what that circular ring was doing there.........I know I didn't take everything off to give you guys a better view, but then again I don't know what I'm looking for. Various Angles: http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_2083.jpg http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_2077.jpg http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_2079.jpg http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_2080.jpg http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_2081.jpg http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_2082.jpg I don't see anything that looks worn. I just ordered the NSTSSK09 Engine Bay NST product, and will probably order the shifter one as well, but it would be nice to know if I have a more serious problem that I can use my warranty to fix. I'm the second owner and have had the car for about 6 months. Thoughts? - any input is appreciated. |

When my shifting get rough or notchy - it is my clutch not fully disengaging. It only completely disengages about 1/4 " off the carpet. Thinking this is some air bubbles in the slave cylinder or the connected parts. Problem comes and goes. I havent bled the clutch hydraulics yet - MY GF wont help me work on the car!

try REDLINE - MT 90 ( www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=46&pcid=7 ) or AMSOIL MTG ( www.amsoil.com/storefront/mtg.aspx ) true synthetic gear oils . Both are 75w-90 and GL-4 . May help . Either one is less than $13 each . You'll need 2 quarts . GOOD LUCK .

Trans doesnt work right when the car is off - only when spun up - so the feel when you are engine-off doesnt mean too much. Check and see where your clutch begins to engage - a good way is: if you can get the car on level ground and cant roll at idle, put it in second and slowly release the clutch (giving no gas!) and see when it JUST begins to grab at all - which U would notice by the idle speed lowering a tiny bit - this is the engagement point and if its not at least 1/2" or more off the floor, then the clutch master and slave hydralics arent working right and U will need a bleed or some other adjustment.

Anyone try the walmart supertech semi syn - some other forums (WRX) seem to think its a good STD replacement for those who dont want to spend 30 bucks on 2 qts of gear oil.

Do you have multiple floor mats ? If so the clutch may not be all the way to the floor, i've had this prob when starting the car.

I just got the NST Short shifter engine bay piece, and it definitely helped shorten the throw, but unfortunately my previous symptoms are still present. I think I'm actually going to have Toyota put in the new shifter so they can move on and find the real cause.

as far as the ring you found..... it goes to the shift boot at the top right under the shifter knob... it holds the shift boot to the shaft

Notchyness is usually due to a worn syncro inside the transmission. That or the fluid needs to be changed. I dont think changing the shifter will do anything for you. You can try changing the fluid. Sometimes it helps smooth things out.
I remember on the older hondas you could use 10w30 oil as a replacement for their manual transmission and it would cause notchyness because of lack of friction modifiers. Some people liked that feel though.

keep receipts for the REDLINE or AMSOIL . If you don't do the tranny gear oil change yourself be sure to get and keep it from whom does the change for proof . Good luck with your problem .
