Squeaky Transmission? 5MT - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

IllusionX · 06-03-2009, 09:45 PM

i lubed 2 joints that were easy to remove.. turns out it is still squeaking lol. I'll have to do up the other 2 or 3 ones someday :(

automatic??? are you .... really serious ??

Okay, heres my question.

With so many drivers having the same issue. Do you think this is something that Toyota should address? Like possibly a new TSB should be in order? If so, how, as a team, should we go about this?

I personally think that is bull. I am running the NST SSK and SSK-2 and not having any squeaks after applying the lithium grease. I think they were trying to avoid any "possible warranty work" by blaming on something aftermarket.

That my problem too
Thank you for how to fix it.

I can't believe I had been living with that for almost 2 years when it was such an easy fix. Thanks for the post

Fixed mine too!

Thanks a lot for the tip...I was really starting to worry. This can be done on your own. The location of the shifting bushings is between the motor and the battery. I sprayed every rubber joint/apperatus and worked it around with the stickshift, then went around and did it once more. Make sure to use a silicone based lubricant as a petroleum based lubricant will degrade the rubber joints. Happy driving!

Is white lithium grease silicone based ? Or are there different types and you need to get silicone based? I ask because it was mentioned earlier in the thread.

TheSilkySmooth · 07-28-2009, 06:03 PM

NO Si in the Li. I would get a Si/teflon type - you dont want grease on there - it picks up sand. Toyota f-d up the design of my MR2 shifter too - cable ends (heim joints) used to fall off the trans and jam up the gears.

i also feel your pain. it also happened to my car,but mostly 2nd and 3rd.

Jem_hadar · 08-04-2009, 01:13 PM

Just noticed this on my Yaris too a bit last night. Really paid attention for it this morning on way to work and when out for lunch... its squeaking each and every time going out of 2nd gear and going into and out of 3rd gear (sometimes when leaving 4th gear)!

Was worried it was bigger deal... I had a friend driving my car home last night because I wasnt able to, and she's quite rusty on driving stick... and stalled it numerous times on the road in 1st gear (10+)... i was cringing each and every time! I was hoping it wasnt damaged caused by repetative rough stallings... :S

Glad to see its nothing crazy serious..

In 200 km im due for my semi-annual maintenace service. Ill just mention it to the dealership then I guess and have them deal with it, oil that part mentioned in here.

Thanks! I agree this thread def needs to be stickied!

Glad to see im not the only one w/ this gear squeak issue!

In addition to earlier post. I put a blob of grease plus oil inside the rubber. Shifting becomes smoother.

AlexNet0 · 08-08-2009, 09:23 AM

now that the shift squeak is gone, how do I get rid of the squeak when I press the clutch? lol

+1...
When the shift squeak job is done, at first I thought it also took away the clutch squeak, but I just heard that clutch squeak again this afternoon...

elmo · 08-11-2009, 10:20 AM
