Burned out clutch - Toyota Yaris Forums

Given the throttle hesitation on the throttle by wire Yaris engine (as opposed to the throttle by cable ECHO) Im not suprised people who normally dont trash clutches are having issues...

Re the Yaris, I wonder why Toyota didn't just leave well enough alone (leave it as throttle by cable like the ECHO) ? Did some other change make the change to drive by wire necessary ?

Probably cheaper as a lot of hardware is eliminated.

My initial reaction to the unacceptable throttle response of my 09 was to take it back to the dealer and say "FIX IT!"

But I had observed on this excellent forum the issue before buying and realized thats just how it is. I didnt think it would be as bad as it was and cant BELIEVE Toyota is getting away with it.

geez, the Yaris seems to be having a lot of clutch problems between 150,000 and 200,000 miles.
seems like a defect or Toyota is really going downhill

seriously, ive spent more time than I ever should on Toyota Nation, and id say a definite attribute to Toyota clutches is they will go a long, long time before needing replaced. sure there are isolated cases, but overall the pattern of longevity is there.

I replaced the clutch in my first corolla at 202,000 miles (though it could have been done a little earlier). My dads camry had a clutch replaced about a year previous to that at 178,000 miles.
