Yaris 2006 mmt 1.4

[mrpj]

I used to own one for my sins! 1.4 would be a Diesel? That's what I owned. Traded in for a cvt, much better. Presumably mmt = multimode transmission?
The gear change from first to second can be quite "jerky" to a certain degree. This can be improved by trying to anticipate the gear change and ease off on the accelerator pedal to help it change gear. In fact doing that to force a gearchange up does improve things. You have to change driving style quite a lot to make the mmt work acceptably. It can be quite stupid at times and does need driver assistance.
I never experienced any sort of "jump"when moving off from standstill, always perfectly smooth. I would push the dealer further on that. Does the car creep forward on level ground when in "E" mode with your foot off the accelerator pedal?(similar to a conventional automatic) It should.
The clutch can be reset by the dealer, if required,there will be a charge for this and it will not necessarily improve things for you. I had the clutch reset by the dealer after complaining about poor gear changes but the car was only a few weeks old so it cost nothing. It made very little difference though.

Hi mrpj
I tried to ease off on the accelerator and that helps to reduce the jerking but that's only when I remove completely my foot when the gear changes. I is also much better when I use the manual mode.

Regarding your question the car doesn't creep off when at standstill and I need to accelerate to move forward or backward which is a not smooth at all.

Thanks
