Gearbox Crunch- Help Please

[ananya72]

hi everybody,

i read with interest the thread on crunchy gearboxes for the series 2 yaris model Apologies for starting a new thread but can find the search feature unless i google!

We have a 57 plate yaris 1.3 5spd that has a very difficult crunchy gear change between 1 and 2. To date we have had the clutch changed and the 2nd gear sycrnomesh changed but the problem remains. It has been in and out of the garage like a yo yo and the problem is worse when cold.

I have spoken to the dealer about the gear selector fix that is mentioned on this site, but he is saying that this only relates to the 6 speed models? where do i go from here? any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ananya

My 2nd Yaris (52plate) was fine when I got it and over time it started crunching on down shifting 3 to 2 so changed the gearbox oil and it was abit better then it started again. I took it along to a gearbox specialist and demonstrated it and yep it was the synchro and selector changed and new clutch put it now it's as good as the day it can off the production line. I do use the car for a sprint car so I do put extra pressure on the gearbox but it's still fine.
