Transmission noise

Well they will cover anything related to it as they did the work and the work is under warranty. I hope it gets sorted soon for you.

The replacement was done because some weird rumble noise the transmission made when the car was cruising at low speed, which both the new transmission and the new 86 were making the same noise so it's normal I guess. I honestly think they were tired of me and just fuk it and gave me a new tranny so I would stop complaining lol. But my main concern before they replaced the transmission was the clicking noise, it's some noise that the transmission makes when accelerate from cruising at around 2500rpm.

It's a new car so it's under warranty and they have to fix it. When it was in getting checked and you did a test drive of another did you notice the same noise or problem?

I could feel something from the shifter when shifting into third when we were test driving the new car, but the it doesn't make any of the noises that I was talking about. The dealership said if they can't get the clutch replaced under warranty then I would have to wait until the situation got worse😑

Update:
New clutch didn't resolve the problem....at all, and they didn't find anything conclusive from the oil pan to show it internal damage to the engine. The shop foreman then called Toyota Corporate and they asked him to do a few more inspections today before pulling out the engine and tear it apart. I already told the foreman I would probably lemon the car, will see what happen today.

Update:
Toyota gave authorization to the dealership to pull the engine out and do the inspection. They are still not sure what's wrong with it but it will take at least another week or longer. Told the foreman that I want to lemon the car and filed a case with Toyota.

Update: They still couldn’t find anything conclusive so they decided to drop a new engine in.

Honestly I think many people from here may have the same problem as mine but they were told by others or their dealership that "the noise is normal" or "our cars are supposed to make weird noise". Who define what noise is normal? The field technical specialist? Of course they would always say it's normal because they work for Toyota. I was told by different technicians and FTS that the noise my car made is normal or they couldn't duplicate the noise. Until this time a foreman from a different dealership test drove the car with me and found the noise weird. He recorded the noise in a video and sent it to Toyota and they agreed that something is wrong with the engine.

honestly I think there is a lot of fuss made over the sounds of our twins. they make a lot of noises, some pleasant, some not. the only time i would ever be worried is when something mechanically feels wrong (car not revving, shift lever won't go in, etc) which you've yet to point out

is this your first car and/or first with a MT? After reading the thread I'm still not sure how your 1st trans broke by 20 K. hard to see the fault being on the car/trans especially considering this is an updated 86 :s

Well the OP with the video shows you intentionally grinding the gears, that's not a fault of the transmission that's operator error.

It sounds like they're trying to fix a 'click' now as described in post #11 of which no further description is offered. Without further description it's hard to tell what's happening let alone offer advice or sympathy.

fwiw there is a clicking nose associated with the throttle body that is totally normal but can be alarming depending on how sensitive you are.

Personally I'm impressed you found a dealer willing to go to such lengths to help you. And it's entirely possible that I and others are misreading your situation and your car truly does need extensive work.

Best of luck.

Sorry for the confusion. The noise in the video isn't what they are going after. I'm not sure if it's a problem to be honest. A forum member told me that the noise is normal, but I talked to a few of my friends who drive manual and they told me if the clutch pedal is fully depressed the gear shouldn't make any contact with the car( driveshaft or flywheel?). Yes, I did intentionally shifted slowly in the video to show the noise, but that was because I could feel the little grind and resistance even when I shift normally.

The other noise that they are inspecting isn't shown in the video and the noise isn't very consistent and only occurs when the car is warm. But the foreman has a video of it, I will see if I can get it from him after they replaced the engine.

No it's not my 1st manual car. The new foreman concluded that it wasn't a fault transmission but engine. Even though they have the engine pulled out for inspection but they still couldn't find out what the problem is They just hope the new engine will fix it.
