Celica Forums General Discussion General noises from underneath my hood

hey guys i have a a dilema when my clutch is disengaged i hear a kind of squeaky rattling noise comming from underneath my hood and i have no idea what it is? also when i engage into second gear i get a squeaking noise it's just until i fully engage though what could it be? some help please

have someone shift around while you are looking underneath the hood and you will see this goldish piece move. Put some lithium grease on it and shift around alittle big more, than do it again. It went away for me.

so that will fix the squeaking noise when im at idle tooo?

You have two problems, both are easy to fix. The noise you hear all the time is your belt, you need a new one, dealer can do this for you for around $100.

The shift problem is your shift linkage as eclipseturbogsx noted you need to lube up the "joints" of the linkage with white lith grease, very easy to do. Again as eclipseturbogsx said just have a friend shift in and out of 1st and 2nd so that one you see it and two you get access to both sides of it when you start to lube it.

hey thanks guys for the help im going to do this this weekend Quick question though can i replace the belt myself or do i really have to go to the dealer

its not noisy all the time though, only when i have the clutch disengaged. So i dont think its my belt cause then it would be noisy all the time
