5th gear messing up - Toyota Yaris Forums

N2scouting · 08-11-2010, 08:23 AM

I have recently noticed that it is getting difficult to shift my 2009 3DRLB manual transaxle into 5TH gear. Has anyone noticed this? Is there a TSB on this? Any information is appreciated. Thanks All.

I've recently been noticing my shifting getting harder and harder. I took it into the dealership a couple times and both times on the receipt, it said, "Test drove; normal shifting for Yaris." Sooooo I did some more reading about transmission oil change. I learned to drive a manual on this car so grinding the gears at the beginning was a given. A lot of grinding.... soooo I changed my transmission oil to fully synthetic and it has helped the shifting. I plan to do it again in about 1000Km to get more of the old oil out of it.

Check that out. It was pretty easy. Just make sure you have a long enough tube from the funnel WITHOUT KINKS. The kink that was in mine gave me a headache.
