Thanks for the links. I'll check them all out.

That's what I told her too, at least to make her feel better, haha. I think that's the problem too. She's so afraid of "riding the clutch" that she's letting it out way too soon.

I'm trying to find the right way to tell her it's ok to "ride the clutch" while the engine engages, and that you have to keep the clutch halfway depressed for a second or two until the engine "takes over".

Good info, thanks!
