Am I taking the transmission out again? - Toyota Yaris Forums

TiedBassDrummer · 05-15-2022, 11:29 PM

I recently replaced the clutch for my Yaris. Along with the flywheel and pressure plate. Before I started bolting more things back together I figured I should test to make sure that neutral was neutral, and discovered what is seen in the video.

At 8 seconds I press the clutch pedal in.
At 13 seconds I release the pedal.

I am 95% sure this means I need to take the transmission out again, but I would like someone more knowledgeable than I am, cause I'm sure not, to weigh in.

No, that's normal when the tranny fluid is cold. For some reason the spinning main shaft cause the fluid to whip up and make the other shaft turn a bit. Put the wheels on and you'll see that you can stop it easily by hand.

Thank you ex-x-fire. I did notice that it was easy to stop by hand when I had a tire on.

remcafee - I did not install a lightened flywheel. I put an OE flywheel in. I know I have come across old posts about lightened flywheels on the forum though.

If it's a daily driver I wouldn't use a light flywheel.
