Gearbox leaking!

[yarrr]

Don't most people leave oil/transmission fluid stock for the first change, as synthetics are too slippery for break in periods? Did you do the same thing to the first transmission? Did the dealer fill it with your fluid? Did you drain and fill the fluid they used?

And continue to ignore the 99.x% of users reporting on this site that they have no problems with their yaris for 100s of thousands of miles. Damn toyota and their shoddy craftsmanship.

Well let me tell you,
The brand "new" tranny ran about 400 miles with the cheap stuff from the dealer and then I replaced it with Mobil 1 synthetic, the grinding noise on 1st was there since the first day it was installed as matter fact the synthetic helped a little bit, the first thing I thought it was because is a new tranny and probably needed to brake in but the noise its getting louder and louder so most likely there is a craftsmanship problem with this gearbox.

On the other hand with my previous tranny I never replaced the gear oil it used the factory fluid until the whole thing was replaced with 59k

There might be hundreds of thousands of yaris with hundreds of thousands of miles BUT there are a whole bunch of them with faulty parts like mine, I wished that my experience with this car was different but unfortunately that did not happen.

I owned a TC on 2005 and it came out pretty good, other old Toyotas in the family have been great but my yaris like many others don’t stand out for good quality.
