The gearbox or drivetrain in my 2009 Toyota Corolla Ascent six- speed manual is very noisy in all gears and not smooth in sixth gear where it should be very smooth. It sounds and feels like it is in fourth instead of sixth. Toyota tells me that it is normal. Can I get the gear ratio checked and what suggestions do you have?
It's still under warranty so you should persist with your dealer and have him demonstrate, perhaps by driving another car with the same drivetrain, that yours is normal. You could also have a trusted mechanic drive it for you and give you an opinion on it.
