Clutch non-responsive??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I used to shift at redline all the time. Shifting out of first into 2nd while at redline can cause problems occasionally(or rarely in my case). This car doesn't like it, especially with the quick shifting. However, I've gotten good at backing off when it's about to grind and will quickly pop it into 3rd instead of 2nd.

Another problem I had, at highway speeds, dropping it into 3rd gear sometimes will cause it to grind. But once I had the transmission oil flushed (at Toyota) it solved that problem.

I wish the clutch/pedal was as intuitive as my old Civic. Hopefully Toyota will take note if they ever decide to cater to manual drivers who like to the wring the most out of their engine.
