Yaris 2007 sedan (auto) Transmission fluid change and rear wheel noise - Toyota Yaris Forums

Automatic Toyota trans fluid does get dark... You would just flush the trans fluid with new. You can get away with a lot of miles on automatic fluid, I usually go about 75K.

The sound from the rear could be a wheel bearing. Does it get louder if you turn one way or the other? If it does, it's most likely a wheel bearing.

Thanks for the reply and I haven't noticed much while turning, but it gradually increases with speed, so that was the only thing which came to my mind initially.
I'm assuming the replacing the wheel bearings is an expensive job?

If you can do it yourself, it's about $100.

If you can't, it will be a little pricey. Automotive work is about $80-$90 an hour, and that job probably books for 2-3 hours.

I can do it myself, but I don't have all the tools for it, have to think of something of how to go about it. Thanks for the help so far.

Would you know the Allen-Key size for the Yaris 2007Transmission bolt in the pan?

10mm, 3/8" fits fine as well.
