possible clutch gone bad? - Toyota Yaris Forums

beanders · 10-04-2012, 02:53 PM

If you are rev'n above 3k consistently while shifting you are being hard on the clutch. It isn't a sports car. It can handle it without issue, but doing it repeatedly will cause the smell. I have done it.

On another note, these are Variable-Valve-Timing (VVT) engines, so the gain to rev high isn't like it was before VVT. My old Tercel use to get faster if I rev'd up to redline, but the Yaris isn't quite the same. I do on occasion go to redline, but that is simply because I need both hands on the wheel for the moment during speed runs.
