'Better Shifting' is only your opinion. How much 'Better Shifting' are you going to get out of a Yaris?

big difference . No clunking into reverse , no grinding when downshifting , and easier shifting when extremely cold

. Don't knock it 'til you try it .

I can't believe there is a forum for these things! LMAO I stumbled across it looking for a deal on RED LINE GL-4 for my Max. Do these Yaris things come stock with a tampon dispenser on the dash? I'd quarter one of these in reverse and give ya 4 car lengths! I'll even pull a coil pack! LMAO I registered just out of disbelief people would not only buy one of these but admit it online in a forum. I could think of just about anything I'd spend 13K on before I bought one of these sardine cans. I'd need to roll down a window and leave my legs hanging out just to be able to get laid in one of these gocarts! Tell me there's a poll post for the best fart muffler to u-bolt onto one of these and I'll shit myself! Sorry for laughing at you all...but I'm laughing at you all! ROFLAU I'm a real azzhole, the kind that bangs your girl then beats you up when you complain about it. I make you pay for the abortion and charge ya gas money for the date.

JK. These little buggers probably get sick gas mileage and they probably do corner good as a shifter cart. I wouldn't fit in one but I wouldn't mind not having to stop at every other gas station to pump $40 bucks of 93 from the 12:1's and revups.

Yea, your a douche bag

As you can see in my sig I have a 02 duramax that runs high 11's in the quarter mile

I drive about 70 miles a day so got a yaris and it gets 44mpg on average. Mine is bone stock and will stay that way. I don't diss people on this forum for modding there cars. Maybe they aren't like you and I and don't like diesels or v8 cars. I don't care. I signed up just to figure out what was wrong with my car and keep and I on parts that i might need.

Hershey is right, i am using Redline as well.... great product. Oil does not care what transmission it ends up in, good oil is good oil.

TheSilkySmooth · 01-08-2010, 03:35 PM

The toyota oil (from the factory) is good oil, but at 25K, It is starting to feel too thin in the summer. Time for fresh GL-4 NOT GL-5! Now that WP has their shiite together their semi-syn cross-spec;d GL4/5 at WM for about 7 bucks has received good reports from the subaru forums. Havent tried it. Any reports on the RP oil? Of course redline is great but Ive read many folks have BAD reports on the Mobil 1 stuff. PAO syn base stock ( like M1 uses) doesnt make a good lubricant.

swidd · 01-09-2010, 09:40 AM

I also had positive experience with changing the oil to MT-90 GL-4. Gears are smooth in 10 Fahrenheit weather - no warm up needed. It takes a few thousand miles to notice it.

I also had a bad experience when I bought some synthetic valvoline GL-5 oil that the instant oil change place put in. It made it very sticky to shift gears, even in hot weather. So I bought MT-90 on my own, and took the GL-5 stuff out in less than 200 miles.

I've never heard anything but positives about the Redline stuff. And yes, a Yaris can shift quite nicely. I've got the full NST bushing and short shifter kits, and it feels great. I'm sure some Redline would compliment it quite nicely.

Lazerdot · 01-10-2010, 04:27 AM

I'm using Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90. My owner's manual recommended both GL4 and GL5. Since I AX and do track days the type I'm using made sense. I haven't had the shifting issues some have spoken about. The NST SSK I have was always a bit different then stock and so far no adverse changes.

fidgell · 01-19-2010, 08:04 AM

If anyone is interested, Canadian dealers charge CAD$82.95 for this.... Same price as for a coolant flush and change!

Small price to pay to protect the box!

Lewis · 01-19-2010, 09:44 AM

Just asking..........has ANYONE ever heard of a Yaris manual transmission failure?

I think that the box is hard to kill even with poor shifting skills. Poor shifting skills seems to damage the clutch on the Yaris- the box is practically indestructable.

What I believe we are talking about here is better "feel" to the shifter something 99% of Yaris owners couldn't care less about- but for the small group of owners who enjoy shifting (like me) I do believe profit in feel from a good GL4 synthetic.

pokoki · 01-21-2010, 04:52 PM

How easy it is to do yourself? I assume there is a drain plug and a fill hole, but where are they both located?

I had the dealer replace the manual tranny fluid yesterday. Already I have noticed a better, smoother, gear change - especially in reverse! My Yaris has done 165000km and this is the first change.... They also replaced the coolant, didnt cost much more than DIY plus I didnt have to do it in the snow, or dispose of the waste stuff myself afterwards.

Im going to do the spark plugs myself at the weekend!
