We study how to probe the anomalous CP-violating couplings of top quark with photon, Z and gluon in the ttbar threshold region at future e+e- colliders. These couplings contribute to the difference of the t and tbar polarization vectors delta P and to the CP-odd spin correlation tensor delta Q_ij. We find that typical sizes of delta P and delta Q_ij are 5-20% times the couplings (d_tgamma, d_tZ, d_tg) in the threshold region. Experimentally delta P can be measured efficiently using the CP-odd combination of the l+/l- momenta or of the l+/l- directions. We have similar sensitivities to both the real and imaginary parts of the couplings independently using the two components of delta P. Taking advantage of different dependences of delta P on the e+/e- polarizations and on the c.m. energy, we will be able to disentangle the effects of the three couplings d_tgamma, d_tZ, d_tg in the ttbar threshold region. We give rough estimates of sensitivities to the anomalous couplings expected at future e+e- colliders. The sensitivities to d_tgamma and d_tZ are comparable to those attainable in the open-top region at e+e- colliders. The sensitivity to d_tg is worse than that expected at a hadron collider but exceeds the sensitivity in the open-top region at e+e- colliders.
