Squeaky Transmission? 5MT - Page 7 - Toyota Yaris Forums

gammaray · 06-27-2012, 08:13 PM

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.

Many thanks. Searched online for a cure, found this post and joined the forum. Lubed the linkage joint with dri slide (motorcycle stuff) and the squeak is gone.

Bump.

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

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

MrAsherMarad · 10-26-2012, 07:10 PM

Just bought a 2007 yaris sedan and it didn't have the squeak until I had driven it about 100 miles. I think the cold weather/rain caused it. Anyway, this thread saved me a lot of money. I bought the Lithium Grease, sprayed a lot of parts, and now the squeak is gone. For good measure I took apart the compartment with the shift knob inside the cabin and sprayed in there. Both were easy to do, although I had to take out my air filter box to get so that I could spray where it needed to go.

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!!!

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.

ckurowic · 07-26-2013, 09:09 AM

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

Thirty-Nine · 07-26-2013, 03:27 PM

Perfect! I'll do this tomorrow. I tried some silicone spray (wasn't quite sure where to use it), and it lasted a bit. I'm sure the lithium grease will be better.

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.
