Gear Shifter

[tagpats]

Has anyone experienced any squeaking or unusual noises when moving the gear shifter in their automatic transmission Camry? I have a 2007 SE V6 and recently noticed that when I sometimes shift from park to reverse and also into drive, there is a rubbing or a squeaking kind of noise.

The shift itself is not the issue, it's the lever that seems like it's causing some of the plastic to rub or flex or something. Not sure if this has always been the case and I never noticed it until now or if something is wearing in there.

I'm not sure if it's related, but there is/was a TSB on a center console squeak a while ago. I think that squeak is more along the lines of a squeaking when the car goes over bumps, and requires that insulation is placed in the center tunnel/shifter housing.

I'm not sure if that TSB would help fix a squeak that happens when you are actually shifting from Park/Reverse/Drive.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.
