What! how could you, that was very irresponsible of you , j/k , I didn't even noticed it until you pointed it out .

 

Well damn I read this post about two weeks back and I was like it will never happen to me! Guess what lol

But for me its 1st gear, and 2nd sometimes.

They better replace the damn thing, I guess working at the dealer should help lol.

 

Hmm . . . dunno about grinding. But I know that on a cold start I'll shift into first and get a single metal clinking sound. Is this normal? Is this what u guys are talking about? I'm a newb to stick so any help would be appreciated.

 

This happens to me a lot in my car now that it's winter, and I just got the clutch replaced in it. It's not so much a clinking sound but more like I have to absolutely shove it into first at a stop even with the clutch pressed way down, and sometimes it makes a noise but then after I drive for a block or two it goes away, so I think your car is alright. Then again, I'm not a car mechanic, so any other opinions?

 

well i have problems too. i was riding down the interstate and my 5th gear popped out. never heard of it before but it wont stay in 5th gear at all. if you hold it in 5th it will drive but its forced out. anybody kno wat this could be? i think its the syncros but i didnt kno how they worked as far as if they kept it in gear or not. goes in on tuesday.

 

^^ yes it definitely sounds like the syncros pushing 5th gear back out. If they are defective they won't lock 5th gear into the input shaft. Other times the shift detents, if bad, wouldn't allow the gear to stay in position. But i agree with your thinking, synchros.

i'll laugh so hard i'll cry if the dealer actually gives you the excuse "oh that's normal".. lol since that's what they usually do for most everything

 

dude i will flip a damn switch if they try and b/s me on not replacing it. but we shall see wat happens tomoro. this will be my third tranny in this damn car. yea i hear that the people at this scion dealership actually have good common sense but we willl see tomoro. will keep you updated.

 

WTh lol so lucky the tech at my dealer was a jerk and wouldn't replace mine! Maybe i should try another dealer :/ They didn't give you poop about your short shifter? They blamed mine and just sent me home saying my warranty is voided

 

lol yea it depends on the dealer i guess. but back in delaware i went to my dealer but i put my stock one back in and they wernt goin to replace it cuz i had different tires and suspension on it but they cant say that stuff messed up the trans. but this dealer out here in oklahoma asked no questions they called me yesterday mornin and said that the transmission should be in this mornin so i should have it back today or tomoro. and i left my shifter in this time because i dont have my stock one out here. a shifter cant cause problems either, so i would of fought that or maybe you should put the stock one back in.

 

hey guys got the new transmission installed. smooth as day one. so happy.

 

gahh i needa make an appointment asap x[ mine shifts as smooth as sandpaper sometimes..

 

This post is from four years ago....seriously?

 

Yeah I had 2 transmissions already, and now this one just started doing it.

 

just double clutch. Syncros are so overrated.

 

Anybody do a rebuilt "bulletproof" trans in these things?

 

my 3rd grinds with just under 50,000. not alot, but every now and then. Probably don't have to be worried. bleh.

 

Jeebus!!!

i have an 09 w/10k miles and my 3rd is grinding!

guess i have to take it in

you think theyd fix this problem by now

or maybe i just cant shift

 

This is the exact problem that I had when driving yesterday! I hadn't had any problems at all. I had my cruise set to 70mph & it literally just fell out of 5th and won't stay unless I keep my hand on the gear. I'm out of town and will go to my Toyota dealer on Thursday. I'm at 67K, so I'm worried they'll say that it's not covered. That shouldn't happen to a car at 67K miles though. Any advice on what to tell the dealer since you have had 3 new transmissions replaced for free?

 

Sorry - my last posting was in response to the posting above...

 

my is 51k 4year 06tc

Same problem, grind in the 5th.
Take to LONGO Toyota CA, they don't want to fix it for me. But it's really still in Warranty.

HELP!!
