QUESTION(S): Does my Yaris really have a clutch problem or not?

Is there anything I should do to further explore this question?

Thanks,

Add more details if possible, like total mileage of your car is very important,

I experienced a similar case but thinking my yaris was new at that time just roughly 35K KM so i assume it couldn't be a clutch problem.

I re-adjusted the clutch lever myself since it was adjusted by Toyota during the preventive maintenance on 30k, there was a tight tolerance "play" (feels a little engaged every time and always chatter) but after re-adjusting it everything went well and no more chattering.

I also cleaned the clutch linkages and added some lithium-based lube to the pivot point and everything was smooth.
