Clutch fault on 1.3 VVT manual 2013 Yaris

[Greatgolfweather]

Have a recurring fault with the clutch. Over past 2 years, the clutch pedal goes to the floor and can’t engage the gears. Brought it to my local mechanic, and he topped up the reservoir. The fault came back, and mechanic could not find anything ( no leaks ) so went back to dealer, who replaced the master cylinder in September 2020. Now the fault is back, car stopped and clutch pedal went to the floor and couldn’t engage gears.


Losing faith in the dealer, they recommended a whole new clutch kit, but brought car back from dealer before I went ahead, and it’s driving normally, but worried when it will next stop working.


does anyone have any experience of this problem? Or any thoughts on what to do next.

It can also be the hydralic actuator bearing.

But it also needs removal of the gearbox, so changing the clutch would maybe be a good idea at the same time.

But the clutch can be a P.I.A. to bleed so get one who knows these Toyotas bleeding it at first.

You mentioned that the mechanic had to top the fluid up. So assuming it was down and you'd lost fluid somewhere. There should be a small ventilation/inspection port on the front side of the bell housing. I'd recommend getting a camera probe in there to inspect the concentric slave to see if it's leaking.
