Clutch shudder when setting off in 1st gear

[yaris2010RS]

i find the same problem. i have learned to master 1st but revers....fml man, i back up on my drive way (up hill) and unless i'm riding clutch hard and RPMs atleast 1500 or doing 40km in reverse it looks, feels and sounds very bad.

also with the gearing ratio i find its awkward to slow down and take off again but not stop. too fast for 1st, too slow for second...... any advice? (other then learn how to drive, lol)

I definitely find this to be evident! I usually just shift into second and give gas but the car really doesn't want to go into 1st gear unless stopped.

i find it makes right turns very awkward and red lights that magically turn green a nightmare.... almost feels like its gonna stall. and today i decided to try and ride the clutch a bit.....this will not fix anything, make alot of noise then bounce. lol. guess we gonna have to live with it or change the gears.....

I sometimes double clutch to get into 1st gear easier... i.e. clutch out, raise RPMs 500-1000 higher than idle, clutch in and shift into 1st gear at a slow rolling speed. This is all at below 5mph speeds of course.
