Excellent. Can you elaborate what you mean by "I would practice being smooth with the shifts to avoid excessive wheel spin"? I suppose I'm not very good at detecting wheel spin.
Also, what does the gas pedal do exactly when you are starting in first? Do I want to rev to 3500(ish) and hold it there for a second while I engage the clutch, and then floor it after clutch is engaged? Or is it more of a smooth motion the whole way with the throttle?
