Car/engine shake when releasing the clutch pedal

kind of weird... at the friction point when the clutch is being released the engine starts shaking quite a lot... did anyone else experience the same ?

what he said, you can't get the car moving by using the clutch alone... Well, you can, actually, but you gotta let it slip very gradually and slowly, and you won't be going very fast at all. Useful in very very slow traffic though!

Either the Yaris needs to be at a 100,000 miles + or something because my friends BMW 3 series doesnt do it and i thas 192,000 miles on it.
Its just not receiving enough gas. It works the same way in reverse too, try it. I use the reverse shaking one to pull out from the garage because I have blind spot on not seeing the car turning the corner.

Hey mon ami(e), give it a bit more gas... it won't break... and it should accelerate without any shudder.

Keep in mind that the 3xxi has a lot more torque than the Yaris, so the engine is less likely to stall as you let the clutch up.

The shudder is caused by the stationary clutch plate touching the engines flywheel. Obviously one has to stop or the other must turn. Therefore, the engine slows a little as it tries to move the clutch plate and when it drops below an acceptable idle it shakes. You can do this in any car if you let the clutch up at the right speed. Just take it as the car saying "you are about to stall me".

Every one please relise that this car costs about $10,000 you will get a transmission like this its hard to learn but still fun

Edit: I'm not saying its a bad transmission its just weird because people grow up driving cars that are meant for gettin it done this car is meant to get it done cleanly and cheaply (gas wise) so you have low idle and delay throttle

For the most part, the tranny is about the same quality as many cars a class or two (or three) above. Just because it's a cheap car doesn't mean it has a shorter lifespan. Fortunately a manual transmission is fairly simple. It's the automatics that aren't as good in the Yaris as more expensive cars (shift intelligence, number of speeds, shift speed and smoothness).
I do agree that the Yaris has a smaller engine and less low-end torque than many other cars, so it's a bit harder to get moving. It IS lighter, however than cars with bigger engines, so it's not THAT much harder.

I see what you mean... I posted in a hurry. I meant that while it may be a lesser quality transmission, it will still last just about as long, because it has still been designed to its purpose and still isn't much harder to use.

Everything else in my post is true, but I will elaborate on automatics. They may be similar to the more expensive ones, and may last just as long, but they won't have the technology that cars that cost 3x as much have (as you can imagine). What I was basically saying, was because you're shifting a manual, you're not missing out on much from one standard manual to the next (until you start to compare the engine and clutch).

Toyota's C-series transmissions are fabulous transmissions. There is nothing wrong with the Yaris' 5-speed tranny.

These things make the Yaris 5spd seem harder to drive:
-You have to get used to the fact that there is a delay in throttle response.
-The engine idle is very low to save gas.
-The car hardly makes enough power to get moving below 1000 rpm (idle is well below 1000)

If you're having trouble launching, try to press the gas pedal/rev the engine up a little bit before you start releasing the clutch. Remember that the engine will react a little slowly at first when you press the gas, and that it needs to rev up a little before it makes enough power to move the car (without shuddering).

Another way to think of it is that you're letting off the clutch pedal too much/too early. The same fix applies - let the engine get some power first (or slow down your clutch foot).

I think you've got buky. These cars are a little tricky at first, but with practice you'll get the hang of it. Progressive pedaling is the trick!

and another... give it gas! The car is just a bit tricky at first. I've had many straights but this wants a little extra shot of juice. I choked it a couple of times.
