View Full Version : Manual RPM question

I've had my Yaris for about a month and this is my first manual.
When I Shift I usually shift around 2k-2.5k rpm sometimes 3k.
When doing so, my rpms drop a little which is normal.
However, when needing to slowly move forward, I notice my rpms would drop below 1k which sometimes causes my Yaris to shake but not stall (getting into 1st gear).
This is probably bad, if so, how? And what can I do to prevent this?

The yaris is a bit odd having a throttle by wire (no cable connecting the gas pedal and the engine) so there is a power lag.
That, combined with a manual transmission with a clutch causes the characteristics shown above.
It can be compensated by adding a bit more gas than you normally would.
In short, it's normal for this car, and not to worry

I’ve noticed the same thing with the throttle by wire. But this is not good for the clutch long-term afraid.
Just my opinion

Ive been driving mine since Dec. Have the same problem. 2500 to 3000 rpm rev seems to solve the problem. But still trying to find the sweet spot.
