GAS PEDAL SPRING TOO WEAK

[DANIELTNIEVES]

I have a 2010 liftback manual transmission. It's hard to not race the engine when starting off in 1st gear, and also whenever shifting to another gear engine races for a split second when clutch pedal is pushed. It is my belief that both issues are caused by a gas pedal return spring that is not stiff enough to offer you enough resistance when starting off in 1st gear so it's either stall it or race it a little, and when putting in the clutch and taking my foot off the gas pedal to shift to another gear it's not stiff enough to push the gas pedal out quickly so when disengaged from the drag of the transmission & engine I get the split second of racing a freewheeling engine. Anyone else think this is so? I've owned nothing but manual trans cars since 1972, and it's not just my yaris mt, I test drove 3 other 2010 yaris mt's and all were the same.
