Clutch shudder when setting off in 1st gear
I love this forum, just got my Yaris 900 miles ago!!!
My Yaris' clutch shudders when starting from a stop in 1st gear, and seems to mostly happen at 1500rpm. It doesn't at all seem like a 'low power' shudder, as if I were letting the clutch out at too low an RPM or something. On my last car I would be totally off of the clutch under 1000rpm, I like to put as little wear on clutches as possible, which means starting off at lower RPMs and being fully engaged relatively quickly. What RPM should I be hitting the friction point of the clutch with? The shudder is especially pronounced when I engage a little quicker than normal, and hold around 1500rpm while engaging. Is my clutch still being broken in - was it not broken in correctly - what's going on!? I've been extremely careful on the clutch over the 900 miles I've had the car. ![]() I've searched and only saw one other thread with this problem and it didn't seem to match my issue. |

So, FYI, my car does the same thing in first (I have 22,xxx miles on mine).
In addition, it does it in reverse quite badly. Anyone have the shudder in reverse issue?

Yeah mine does that in 1st as well. It's a 2007 with nearly 30,000. Seems worse when it's cold. I think the yaris just prefers a higher rpm roll out.

It's been 1500 miles since I posted. Problem has 'gone away' but I think it's just that I learned how to set off without causing the shuddering. I still set off at a low RPM (put the engine around 1000 rpm and hit the friction point).
I don't like to try it since it feels bad for the car, but I think quicker engaging of the clutch at higher rpms (1500rpm) causes it. It's weird I had to re-learn how to drive stick shift after driving stick for over 3 years in my previous car :) |

does it to me some, but its not the same shudder as when you don't give it enough power when starting out.

Kinda happened to me in 1st on rare occasions, its when the clutch is released to early and there's not enough gas pedal action. Haha. Seems pretty normal from other peoples experiences.

I agree with a couple of other comments here, I think you are just letting out
the clutch too early and too quickly. |

It happens when its cold. Then it goes away when the car starts to warm up. Its not because the clutch is being let out too early.

ya.. the DBW changes the way you sync your left foot with your right foot. You just got to get used to it.

it sounds like clutch chatter because you're slipping it too long...

It's really interesting to hear so many people say they have the clutch shudder in 1st and reverse. In 1st, mine does go away once the car has warmed up. However, the reverse shudder is there all the time, no matter what speed.
