I got 121k miles on car.

i get the same thing, although I notice it more often since I changed to royal purple gear oil. I'm also getting a grind when I go from 2nd to 3rd quickly if I don't double clutch.

^^ Yep same here !!! Switched to royal purple a few months ago and have very notchy engagement and a desent grind when going 3-2 . I think its just to slick for the yaris gears imo .I will be switching to redline mt-90 next weekend and hope that helps...
