so travis claims he kills clutches

i made an edit just for you. next time when you post in a thread look over the contents of the conversation taking place and read the posts before you make a post, reading includes looking at links made in the posts

I’m the exact same way, I drive manual and have never owned an auto. Though my little sister has the exact same car as mine other than its an auto and mine is a manual. First few times I drover her car I came to some very quick stops by the way of my left foot looking for the clutch.

Gee sorry I dident click that link because it was a few threads down and dident realize it was related to that…

I posted based on the pictures I saw and what you said

I’m pretty sure he’s been here for the vast majority of his life, genius.

My…audi’s 1.8 Pressure plate of like what 3/4 inch metal snapped in 4 places.

I thought “my” but wrote “I” weird.

ok :rofl

ok then davie boy how do you suppose you stop roll back without usin the e-brake I hope you dont let the clutch out a little until you stop moving.

Just wait until the car in front of you moves and drive away like normal?

Heel toe the bitch

ok you can do that to I guess, whenever I do that I always just get a little tiny bit of rollback but w.e :ponder

i do that anyways?

I guess VW FTW 'cause those cars are so friendly to drive I never really have a problem with rolling back any big amount.

yeah if I dont do anything about it I roll back just a little before I start moving, no big deal unless some fuckwad decided to see how close to your bumper he can get

r u srs?

guess so? :confused

mash the gas and dump the clutch as fast as you can ;D

:lol tires cost money I’d rather not burn them up as fast as I can but that would sure as fuck get somebody off your bumper :lol

Take this little tid bit in for a minute…

1/4 ounce weight spinning at 100rpm on a 4" circle weighs about 2lbs. Take that same 1/4 ounce piece, on a 4" spinning center, and spig it to 8000 rpm…it now has a “weight” of ~120lbs. Now imagine what a ~1/2 lb chunk of pressure plate “weighs” when it breaks free from a clutch spinning at 9K+ rpm on a ~12-14" circle ;D Kaboom!

i don’t get the huge debate about rolling back on a hill :confused :wtf You’re going to roll a little bit, so what…i’ve stalled on a hill maybe once and it was in my first car, a '99 Civic coupe, and it was like my first week of driving stick.

I remember trying to learn stick on my old ranger 4x4 4 speed. Ouch. Takes awhile to get the hills down, especially really, really, steep troy hills.
I haven’t driven a stick in so long :sad

Starting on hills with a LTW Flywheels is a pain in the dick, however I can definitely start off on a fairly steep hill/driveway without rolling back…

And if I do it can’t be more than a 1/2" at most…just comes with practice.
