Are all you guys allergic to driving properly or what?!?

Popping the clutch doesn’t wear it as much as it shocks the transmission’s synchro. And we all know how tough the Z’s tranny is…

Keep your foot on the clutch, slipping it, and then you have major wear.

Can’t go back to the footrest in between shifts for fear of “loosing” the clutch pedal? Should you really be driving a standard? Should you be driving at all? The pedal never moves. It’s always the same distance from the footrest…

Damn, is it so hard?

 

we all know djmatrix doesnt know how to drive..ive seen him stall so many times in the school parking lot

 

Just lift it really fast. Oh, DO NOT let that right foot leave the floor for any reason until you are across the line!

 

Riding the clutch is like riding the break. Your burning it up.

 

i heard riding the clutch helps makes you go faster when you go down a hill

 

I usually do the same thing when I'm driving in stop and go traffic. The shifts are too close together to rest my foot on the footrest and then shift to second and rest my foot again and then shift to third.... It's much easier to just hover your foot over the pedal. Other than that, I rest my foot.

 

i got a secreat for you, all hondas 06 + HAVE AN ELECTRONIC CLUTCH assist(ECA)...to make it easy to understand, you dont need anyskill to drive it,you dont have to slowly realease the clutch between shifts, you can immediatly drop your foot off the clutch when your shifting, and guess what ,the car will componsate for you and it wont even jerk...yes it saves idiots from screwing up the tranny but, you'll screw it up as soon as you get in a car that dosent do it for you.I drive them everyday and it sucks.Go test drive a new civic si, V6 six spd accord or s2k..you will immediatly tell the differance.

 

If you want to power shift your tranny (Side stepping) You better be willing to buy a new input shaft for that $3000 transmission or worse. When you do just buy a hardened input shaft and racing clutch and you'll be fine. The stock clutch might save the tranny but, I wouldn't count on it to. At any rate your stock clutch won't last the year if you side step her many times.

When you rebuild your tranny... and that's OK get a racing clutch that will hold up to the abuse while you are at it.

If not, just speed shift (lift off clutch or pop it) as fast as you can and you'll save the tranny a bit.

Also don't over rev the motor and drop the clutch for 50mph burnouts. That will twist the input shafts / scatter a U-joint as well.

 

you know you made sence untill this, what fun could you possibly get out of practcing something that will make you a slower driver in the long run.

 

hehe

 

Very, very, very well-said.

 

There is 1 good reason to ride that clutch.

lets just say you have a counterpart that controls the finances... And lets say you WANT a new Carbon clutch and lightwieght flywheel... Ride that clutch baby! And in no time you will HAVE to get a new one... Viola! New clutch and flywheel for less the the OEM and if you have the right insurance it's free :-)

*DISCLAIMER* I have never done this and do not practice this. I am mearly telling a story I herd from a guy that told his friend that leaked information from this girl who knows this other guy that claims he is friends with an insurance agents brother!

 

Lol

 

if your side-stepping is just a split second sooner than the gear is engaged, you WILL grind it like crushing a bag of potato chips.
