Then you proceed (in your VERY FIRST post) to inform the masses of an issue that will surely lead to the deaths of MILLIONS of Manual Transmission Yaris owners who will most certainly be crushed to death due to the car's inherently designed inability to launch from standstill due to a defective clutch/throttle design that, based on your experiences, must certainly afflict the entire fleet of Yaris' populating the western hemisphere...... Yadda yadda. Then most of us debunk you by providing testimony that is in direct conflict with your doomsday scenario.... Then, suddenly, a flock of "one post wonders" show up and provide us MORE evidence that the world is coming to an end because of your problem.... I'd offer this: 1. Perhaps you have a defect in your Yaris. 2. Perhaps your's isn't the only Yaris afflicted. 3. Perhaps Toyota is working on it. 4. Perhaps trying to convince the vast majority of people WITHOUT your problem that they have a problem... is... well.... stupid. Especially in an enthusiast's forum. I hope you get your issue resolved. |

I've known many people who "can drive a manual" only to stall left and right and claim its the car's fault.

I don't think it's the cars fault - I went from a Jeep Wrangler to the Yaris and had a tough time for a while until I got used to it (stalls, etc) - my husband jumped in my car and has never had a problem at all (He has a manual subaru which is also very different from my Jeep). He thinks it drives fine. I am sure some cars may have problems but in my case I am almost positive it's the driver. :P

Are people really coming on a car forum and blaming the fact that they stall all the time on the clutch? Its TOYOTA people, they've been working on the Yaris for years. It isn't going to roll off the line in its second iteration with a faulty tranny. You people just can't handle the fact that there is no tach and the car is light and likes to roll.

I know, I know, I drive an AUTO, but, I think the stalling problem is due to trying to get the maximum mileage out of the Yaris. If you are feather light on the gas, guess what... stall. Put your foot on that bad boy when starting out and problem solved. It's all in the wrist.... er... ankles. Rev that engine...Burn a little gas. It might cost you an extra $0.30 at the pump, but well worth it.

I personally did not state it was the cars fault .Just that it is taking some getting use to this clutch and for now I seem to be stalling it way more than normal. I have been driving standard shift cars for over 25 yrs This one seems a bit touchy to me. Currently I own 8 cars 5 of which are standard shift.the 5 are '78 K-10 Blazer '84 Nissan Sentra Wagon '88 Mazada 626 '01 Echo '07 Yaris HB I will state again the Yaris is taking a bit for me to get use to. Btw other 3 cars are 1980 Mercury Cougar '90 Plymoth Sundance 2000 Dodge Caravan |

No probs w/ my clutch. I had to search high and low to find my Yaris w/ manual transmission.
If you're worried about rolling back on steep inclines, use the emergency break and ride first gear. Don't give up on the MT--You ain't drivin' unless you're drivin' a stick! |

They are right about the friction being non-existent though.

Clutch Tip
I love my Yaris Hatch, but the clutch did indeed take a little getting used to.
The Yaris has a very light flywheel, and the engine is so quiet that it can be easy to stall the engine when the car is new. Here's what works for me. I simply give the throttle pedal a quick small tap before I begin to release the clutch from a dead stop. The throttle by wire tends to hold RPM briefly, so take off from a dead stop becomes much easier, like driving a manual with a larger engine and heavier flywheel. I've found also that the clutch action improves a great deal as the car breaks in, probably because the pressure plate and flywheel surfaces take on a smooth polish as time goes by. |

I'll agree the electronic throttle and touchy clutch took a bit of getting used to, coming from a well broken in "old fashioned" manual in my case, but to call it a safety hazard, unless the OP has a defective Yaris, was a bit much. Part of the problem for me is the engine is so quiet, if there is a noisy vehicle nearby, I can't tell where the engine rpm's are when starting without looking at the tach, which I am still not used to. Blip the throttle and start the clutch, then slowly and steadily throttle up works for me. And I love my Yaris S

First, anyone should test drive a car before they get...so your not disappointed I admit it's a bit touchy taking off but my problem that it doesn't have a tach and the engine is so quite at idle that I have to rev it up before I can engage the clutch. as someone else pointed out the other issue is that the engine revs don't drop which throws your clutch engagment off. if you think this clutch is touchy you should try driving a Ducati. |
