manual transmission: to mod or not to mod? - Toyota Yaris Forums

*tomato* · 03-06-2009, 01:29 PM

So I got this cute little Yaris LB, 2007, 5 speed, about a month ago at a Toyota dealership. The car is in great condition, got a good deal on it, overall I'm pretty happy about it.

The only thing I'm still uneasy with is that clutch

. I've posted about that in this forum before, and I can tell by the answers I got back and by looking at the old threads that it's a common complaint with these cars.

My question to those of you with a manual transmission is this:

How many of you drive the stock clutch?
How many did the SSK mod?
If you did the SSK mod, did it make a huge difference?
What did you get, how much was it?

Thank you for responding to my previous questions about the car, BTW, you guys are great!!
