Clutch failure at 27k miles - Toyota Yaris Forums

bronsin · 03-08-2014, 10:14 AM

I see your 2009 Yaris has the 1 liter engine. I would imagine that trying to keep up with city traffic in that car would put an immense strain on the clutch, given an undisciplined driver. Most of my driving was long distance in the three mentioned vehicles. However, even with my 86 Toyota Tacoma pickup, 79 Mercedes 240D and 01 Toyota ECHO which were all driven primarily in city traffic, I had no problem. Basically I drive all my vehicles very slowly at least as far as acceleration goes. (top speed another story on the motorcycles!)

If you abuse the machinery failure is sure to result. Although I must say 11k to fry the clutch they must have worked very hard at it!
