Clutch problem on my brand new (used) 2015 Yaris?

[cpnnmb]

Hi everyone,

I have bought a couple of days ago a 2015 manual transmission Yaris LE w/ 85,000 km. Everything seemed great when test driving it at the dealership. However after driving for a while, there seems to be an issue with starting from stop position in first gear. Basically the car will rattle, stutter and shake, as if I had never driven manual before. I have been driving manual for ~10 years on many cars, and other experienced drivers have tried it and noticed the same issue, so it seems unlikely that it's just a tricky clutch. The problem does not happen when the car is cold, only after it's been driven for some time.

Miraculously, if I start the car from stop in second gear a couple of times, it does not show this problem, AND the shaking is gone when going back to starting from 1st. Anyone have any ideas of what is happening?

Thanks in advance :smile:

its pretty common with these to donit if you dont give it some throttle, just about every manual yaris ive driven does it, i think its from a fairly small flywheel and doesnt have much dampening
