Toyata Yaris gearbox whine - tezza
I have recently bought a 1.0L GS Toyota Yaris with 19000 miles. It has a gearbox whine at around 50mph, which has been reported by other users of this site before. Toyota had this car for 3 days to fit a modified part, but the car was handed back to me with the same fault. Has anyone had a successful outcome with this problem.

does this problem occur in any particular gear? if so one of the bearings has probably gone.

The whine is heard more in 4th and 5th at around 45-50mph, but can be heard to a lesser degree in 2nd and 3rd. So it seems to be something common to all gears.
