Is this normal in Manual transmission?

to the part about it not being normal...not the work they may have done.

See Loren's post.

You said you want to shift into first and hold the clutch in so you can start going again faster....... just keep it in second, or be patient for 1-2 more seconds and slow down more before going into 1st. To avoid some of the wear of jamming it into 1st, try a SSK kit, which will make the shift harder (more effort on your arm, less on the synchs)

Otherwise, (and I hate to have to be a smart ass here) but if you want instant response at any speed, consider trading for an automatic transmission.

now THAT's total

MT are far more responsive generally than auto. The Yaris's clutch is just weird.

Thanks indeed, Loren, for the explanation and link.

Yah, it is. Instead of referring to throttle response, I should have said...get the engine to respond without having to do any work other than push your foot down.
Way to keep me honest to the adage...."Mean what you say and say what you mean."
