Change Of Gear-shift Cables In Pre-facelift Ts

February 3, 2006

I guess many Corolla TS owners have felt the resonance noise from the gear-shifting cables. It is heard at high engine rpm, e.g above 5000rpm and if it becomes intense it may also bring into resonance other loose parts, e.g. handles of the vents, the dash, etc.

My 2003 CTS was temporarily fixed a year ago, by inserting the usual soft materials, but this noise has returned back and it's very intense.

So, I am wondering if Toyota has been replacing the gear-shift cables to cure this problem in European countries (after customer complain), similarly to the recall in Australia.

It is about the pre-facelift CTS.

i have the 1.4VVTi prefacelift (assmbled in 2004) and I hear some resonance sound on 5000rpm too .. but I'm not able to investigate from where it comes.
