The NST Bushing Kit is great. Much improved feel, no extra vibration to speak of.

I voted remove because you wouldn't want them to ignorantly throw them away.
and if you tell them it's in there they might screw you over with the warranty best to just be safe |

I'm also contemplating having them put the TRD Performance Clutch for the Yaris, and seeing if they'll let me pay the difference.

I called the dealership about possibly getting a TRD clutch put in instead; I'm awaiting a response from the dealer.

Awesome want to hear about this. I HATE the stock clutch. It feels so wimpy and the engage length is way too long.
Keep us updated! |

Took the NST bushing kit and short shifter out today. I'm still waiting to hear back from the dealer regarding the TRD clutch.

Well, if you know how to drive clutch, and your clutch is messed up under 36,000, there's likely something wrong with your clutch. Now, if you're riding the clutch, don't know how to drive a manual, or whatever, then maybe. But really: 36,000 miles should be pretty darn simply to achieve on nearly any clutch. We went 120,000 miles on our Civic with the original clutch (we sold the car, and it could still scratch 2nd gear). Ditto that with my 1998 Civic, 1998 Prelude.

Yeah, there's no reason she should have any issues with the Yaris!
On a related note, I just got a call from the dealership, and it looks like they will indeed put the TRD clutch in (minus the difference in cost from the stock part). They're going to get back to me regarding the price difference.

Well, I think the Yaris' clutch is a bit touchy. Whether that's a function of the DBW or not, I don't know. I'm not a huge fan of it, though ...

Dealer called: Difference would be $328 vs. stock clutch. That seems a bit stiff; probably not worth it. Thoughts?
