It's that ol' wireless throttle again....... - Toyota Yaris Forums

I stalled the engine on take off at least 200 times the first year I owned it. I have driven a clutch constantly (no automatics for me) for 40 years and have never had a worse time of it. The second year I killed it at least a 100 times and just did so recently.

Another problem is the inability to really get a good shift between gears. It seems the revs drop abnormally fast and when I re-engage the clutch there is a buck because the revs don't match. The dealer always tells me "nothing is wrong" and act like their is nothing to adjust.

It took me over a year to look at the floor pan and notice part of the problem is the the typical "big American foot" hits the raised side to the left of the clutch pedal which keeps it from going all the way to the floor. That's a biggie and part of my stall problem.

As a result of all of this I have a chattering clutch and a popping sound from inside the transaxle. The service manager just told me to go screw myself as he doesn't here anything wrong!

I'm getting ready to write the owner and see if he can get Toyota interested in looking at my car. I have reported these problems three times in the past two and a half years and now I have 54K on the hatch.

Anybody have the "clunk" when the clutch engages--it's like slack being taken up in the transaxle.
