I know this is an old thread that I started a long time ago, but just in case anybody else notices this noise, turns out it was a bearing in my 5-speed transmission beginning to go out. I ended up driving it for another 30k miles until the noise got much louder, then replaced the 5-speed with a 6-sp...

I ended up replacing my 5 speed this weekend with a 6 speed with 41K miles. The project went pretty well, but the rear motor mount is a bit tricky. New trans seems good so far, it's just more shifting, and I'm getting used to it. I'm not sure I'd try tackling this project again myself; my wife and k...

Quote, originally posted by Bedlam »the biggest pisser about this is with 110k on the original clutch and drive line, it shifts perfectly, the clutch is still full of life. I have no issues with syncro's or anything other than that foul bearing.I still think it has a lot to do with the Toyota deale...

Do you track your miles per gallon? What was your drop from 5 speed mpgs to 6 speed mpgs?

My '05 5-speed is making the bearing noises at 103,000 miles. Recently, the noise got much worse, so I'm trying to decide which route to take; 5 speed rebuild, 5 speed junkyard trans or 6 speed junkyard trans. I've changed the trans fluid every 30K miles with Redline MT-90 since I bought the car use...

Been having the noise for at least 20K miles. Just started getting much worse this weekend, so I'm planning to either rebuild it or swap in a 6 speed.

On the list for replacement. 89661-0Z041

I got a letter. I'll be checking my ECM tonight to see if mine is on the list.

True, I did notice that. But I can't say I've been too worried about it since I haven't had any unusual engine noises or smoke from the tailpipe. I would doubt there was a significant change from the 05 to 06 1ZZ-FE in tolerances and in how the engine manages oil, but it's a risk I was willing to ta...

I wanted to see if I would get better gas mileage, and I wanted better cold-weather starting. I use the 5W-20 because of what I read in the below TSB:http://www.chrysanindustries.c...2.pdf

I use Royal Purple 5W-20 in my '05 1ZZFE. Been using it for 70K miles without any issues (that I know of).

Doesn't take much, really. Just a little push either forward, left or right. It's not any more bothersome than any other of my vibrations, except that I know what makes this one stop and I don't want to have my hand on the shifter all the time.

My car is an '05 Vibe, 5 speed with about 70k miles on it. I just noticed in fifth gear that I get a dull buzz/vibration coming from the center of the car under acceleration. The noise goes away if you touch the shifter handle, but comes back when you let it go, and I don't feel any odd vibrations i...
