Yaris TS - Knocking Sound from Clutch

Hope someone can help me.

Been noticing over the past month that there is sort of a knocking sound when releasing the clutch, after changing a gear. It also feels like something is loose when it makes that sound.

Any idea what it could be?

Car is currently at 113 000kms.

Perhaps the tranny mount?

Have the same problem on 1.5L M transmission.
It happens when releasing the clutch on the 1st gear.

Car also vibrates. Im thinking the clutch is in a bad shape...

Tranny mount is an idea, but for me it happens only on the 1st.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies guys. I spoke to a mechanic and explained to him what the problem was.

He said that the engine mountings are loose. I was told to put the car in 1st gear, handbrake up with my foot on the brake and then I released the clutch slowly, while the bonnet is open. When I release the clutch, the engine shakes which means the mountings are loose. Need to get them tightened soon.

It could be a broken motor mount.
