Squeaky Transmission? 5MT - Toyota Yaris Forums

Re: Clutch squeak

Maybe to help identify your problem, could you determine if the squeak is coming from the engine bay or inside the cabin?

If it's inside the cabin, it's probably just a hinge for the pedal itself which you could probably shoot some lithium grease at inside the cabin. If it's inside the engine bay then maybe there's some friction on the clutch cable (I think these are cable-actuated clutch vehicles, not hydraulic). Though if the squeak is coming from insdie the bell housing, then that's probably something you can't fix without opening up the trans housing to get at the clutch spring.

These are hydraulic clutch actuation. I wouldnt put petro-grease on a plastic part w/o first knowing compatibility - some lubes could soften the plastic then you'll be worse off pretty soon. If desparate, Most plastics can tolerate coconut oil and milkfat youll find around the kitchen. Dont laugh - good lubricants!

Mine's been acting up over the weekend while shifting from 2nd to neutral, and again into 1st. Will run out tomorrow to get grease thanks to this thread
