Practice on a hill is always better, that's how my dad taught me. You'll learn to keep it going and you're gonna become one with the clutch and will make heel to toe VERY easy.

Well, I went out for a 120 mile ride. I stalled it once at the very, very beginning (I got nervous when a car pulled up my f-ing ***), but I fired it right back up and took off. Didn't stall again after that. What I learned is that revs are very important and that I shouldn't be too worried about feeding into the throttle. 2K RPMs gives the car healthy momentum forward as the RPMs begin to drop, and then I can keep the clutch at the grab, feed some more throttle and let off.
Since I have the synchro rev-match, bucking is non-existent here (only if you shift too quick at a slow speed). This 120 mile drive really helped me familiarize myself with the car. I went to my girlfriend's, and then to my brother's just to drive around. Both of their neighborhoods have a ton of stop signs so I got some solid practice in. Woo! :) |

i think i figured out my problem. the SRM holds rpms so you can let off the gas, disengage the clutch, select gear and engage the clutch. i was letting off the gas as i was pushing the clutch in, which made the rpm hang while i tried to put it in gear and let the clutch back out. i found when i slowed my feet down and just let off.. then push clutch... then shift and let the clutch out like normal it shifted fine... its weird i wouldnt think i would have to slow my feet down. instead of waaa waaaa its like waaaaaa... waaaa. unless im still trippin

thats not bad for the clutch is it?

no more than letting off the throttle and getting back on it. It never disengages.Wear on the clutch comes from the in between stage of full disengage and engaged. The wear is on the scynchros and gears if done improperly (grinding). I'm not gonna say that it doesn't prematurely wear these parts. If 2 trans were used and one was only clutched and the other only "floated". The later may not last as many miles as the first one, but not significantly enough to matter. Shock loading the gears with hard shifts is much harder on parts.
