That damn sqeak is back

[NHXRUNNER]

So I've about had it with my local dealership (aren't we all?). My TOB has been squealing off and on now for about 6 months. Every time I drop the truck off I get the same call, "the tech can't replicate the problem". Finally I noticed it on my way home and swung into the dealer. Basically pulled into the shop and said get the damn tech to listen to this thing. Well after hearing it he decides it's time to get the toyota rep involved (this will be the 4th TOB to be put in it). So after much bitching and "stern" calls to the service manage I finally got some good news today. They're going to perform the TSB with the updated parts free of charge. Hopefully once they get in there they'll see that the input shaft is grooved and either replace that or the whole damn tranny. I just can't wait for this to finally be over. end rant/

TSB is a must, if you're eligible!
Had mines done a little over a year ago and so glad to have never heard that squeak ever again.

What are the details on getting the TOB replaced under TSB?
My stock 2006 has been squeaking for 6-8 months now too.

 

[KETCHUP]

Hopefully they get it right this time.

I never had that issue.....and glad I haven't. I have sure had my share of other problems.
I upgraded from URD when I did my stage 3+

FYI that PDF is out of date. They've revised it to 3yrs 36,000. No longer under the powertrain. :thumbdown:

Truck's in the shop today. Hopefully I can get an update soon as to their plan of attack beyond the TSB.

Mine is doing the same thing. My buddy and I are going to pull the tranny and replace it. Hopefully do the clutch and flywheel when were in there

Just had mine done a few months ago. Squeaking again. Half the reason my trucks up for sale. So sick of the cheap shit parts. This is my last toyota. For a company that prides them selves on reliability they sure have some shit products

Send that complaint in email to Toyota corporate. Then ask them why a '85 Toyota pickup with original TOB sounds better than a truck which was purchased in '06+?

Well the hits keep coming. Once inside they discovered a worn clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel. All replaced/resurfaced at the time of the last TOB. Dealership is fighting with my warranty company to have that all covered as well.......:thumbdown:

Anyone have the 1-800-bitch at toyota phone number?

 

[Murderface]

Ha ha ha stupid warranty company and shitty Toyota clutch

Man that sucks, mine started squeking about 2 mounts ago, with about 87k miles on it. I hear ya xrgilly I've been debating getting rid of my x as well. Hope every thing works out for you matt.

This is the ONLY reason I'm glad I abandoned mine when I had the chance. I can't believe this is still an issue all these years later

I found why it does this it gets extremely dry and hot in there and if you spray it with a lubricant through the inspection cover it goes away I watched my dealer do it one day but their throwout bearings do suck

It does this because of bad design. That is all. It gets no drier or no hotter in there than any other car on the road LOL.
Hardened steel bearing against an aluminum shaft. Throw in some twisting and side load from lack of pilot bearing. No shit its going to wear out.

 

[NHXRUNNER]

So where does the input shaft actually groove out? Does anyone have a pic of what to look for? I'm not as mechanically inclined as I wish I were but the trans is out sitting on the bench at the shop and I have access to it in the am. I really want to make a case to have the trans replaced. I'm sick of fixing the effect rather than the cause. Open to suggestions.

 

[blackx-runner]

There is a snout that is part of the bellhousing that comes out around the input shaft. The TOB rides on this snout and this is where you will see the wear. I'll see if I can get a pick from my trans.

Not always, I tried that on mine, didn't do a damn thing lol.

You would think Toyota would get sick of every single person to ever own a Tacoma bringing it to the dealerships for tranny issues and actually start putting good parts in. But I guess not lol. They're just terrible transmissions. It's sad when you can get in a Chevy slobalt and slam the piss out of every gear and it takes it just fine, but we have to cringe at the thought of when our tob is going to go out, and about shifting over 4k rpm.

From my transmission this past weekend:

When the dealer saw that my snout was worn, they didn't want to put the new TO bearing on without replacing the entire bellhousing (AT MY EXPENSE), which I believe was over $700. Realizing that it was a repair of the aftermath rather than a repair the problem, I chose to replace the bearing, put an OEM clutch and flywheel back on and make it someone else's problem. Toyota sucks for this whole situation.
