How did you find out that you needed new tranny? Aslo, did you race it or drive it hard?
I'm only at 65,000, and the mehanic at the dealership said most things on my yaris were in close to as-new condition. I keep it clean. Break pads at 50%. |

manual transmissions do wear out, especially if you drive in the city.
You'll know because you won't be able to engage in some gears anymore. Don't worry, you'll know when it's time. Congrats on owning a "like new" yaris. mine is at approx. 60K and it's holding out pretty good, too. Good little cars these Yarii |

92k miles of stop and go traffic did mine in. I commuted 110 miles a day in Connecticut down towards the New York border. I usually did at least 3-4 hours a day in traffic. Here in California, I'm doing 90 miles a day and most days have traffic. I noticed last year that gears were starting to grind going in and out (like I was trying to shift with out the clutch). I also developed an axle seal leak.
I didn't change the transmission fluid until 70k miles, which probably didn't help. From 70k to 90k (the point of replacement), I was using Mobil 1 synthetic 75w-90 gear oil. I am not upset with Toyota over the problem. I'm sure between all of my shifts and lack of maintenance, it was mostly wear and tear. Oh and I only auto crossed the car for one event (3 runs) which only requires one shift (1st to 2nd). I don't think hurt it any, but I am also not taking any chances racing in the future. |

My 2007 hb has 75k miles and the brakes are at 40%. Just replaced the tires. FWI, my commute is 74 miles round trip, 100% highway.

Holy heck, I drove that TJ hard on and off road for 10 years and 150,000 miles before the throwout bearing went out on my MT. But then I changed my gear oil religously.
I don't think I could handle the traffic you put it through to have it go out at 92,000 :) |

So if I have 2 Yaris's (both sedan / auto) should I get the fluids flushed at 50k and the chain replaced at 75k?
The wife just got a brand new yaris and she is still breaking the engine in, and mine has about 43K on it now. Just curious |

If you keep your engine properly serviced, timing chain should be good for more like 200k miles. I'll do a drain and refill on my cooling system at 50k, no flushing required. I know that's a little soon, but these orange and red super-coolants tend to get crusty or sludgy when pushed to their limits.

You should have received a maintenance manual when you purchased?

All I've had to replace is my tyres, at 37,000km - We have 'amazing' roads out this way!

Mine has 81,000 miles on it. About 85% highway.
No repairs at all yet. Just oil changes and new tires. Dealer did just recommend changing the serpentine belt which was expected. The car doesn't feel like it's aging. It just keeps on going and it still feels like it rolled out of Japan yesterday. |
