2008 selector shaft fix, diy?

[k1elliott]

Hi all

My next challenge with my 2009 Yaris TR is notchy 2nd gear.

I've read the 'crunchy gearbox' posts about the selector shaft and don't think I could get away with asking Toyota to fix it 😉

I swapped out the fluid with royal purple and it's worse. Gonna put some 70/80 in it to see if it helps. Took weeks to get the old filler and drain plugs out and the old oil stinks!

Does anyone know if there's a kit that can be purchased off the shelf for a DIY attempt AND does the box need to come off ?

Thanks in advance

Hi all. This is important for all 08 09 owners with notchy second gear 

This has transformed my car

RED LINE MT90 75W­90 GL4 Synthetic Manual Gear Oil

The gear changes are silky smooth. Took a hundred miles or so for the change to take effect but the issue is gone.
