Actually that brings up a question... Are you guys sure it comes from the tranny? Every time I'm around an MT FJ I hear a chirping noise from under the hood.

Well, in my opinion it sounds like it's coming from the engine. But it's hard to narrow down exactly where the noise is coming from.

Does it sound like a dirty belt?

Yes..and the tentioner pully...both prone to fail if swimming too long in the FJ...beleive me..I KNOW!!!
the little chirp will usually go away after a high presure blast to the belt at the car wash....Goog luck guys/gals

Thanks for the info. I'll check that out and see if it works.

Yea I get that after going mudding or swimming, just take the pressure washer to it... stay away from the alternator...

It's probabaly the clutch throw-out bearing. The link below has a little background about the problem and a sound clip for comparison. I had a 5-speed IS300, and Lexus eventually issued a technical service bulliten cause all the 5-speeds were having the same issue. Hope this helps.

When I press the clutch pedal in about an 1/2",
which adds pressure to the throwout bearing,
the chirp stops, as soon as you lift yuor foot,
it starts up, in this case, it is deffinently the
bearing, not a pully... I do know that there has
been a good amount of people that have had
the pully issue too... ust not me... yet
