Good advice Soichiro. That is how I learned to drive stick as well.You will get a feel for where the clutch engages using this method.After you get a feel, learn to add more gas so you can launch quicker/and easier without laboring the engine.Then go on a slope.Then a hill.My dad also put me on a huge hill and made me "balance" the gas and clutch enough to keep the car at a standstill. This is a good excercise (but not good for your clutch!).My dad kept the revs at 3000rpm doing that excericse.... so I had to beat him by lowering the revs (save the clutch!) to the point where the engine doesn't labor.... this was on a 84 Honda Accord. That car was awesome. Original clutch.My 1992 Honda Accord now has 183,000 miles. Original clutch... includes a few track events and lots of stop and go traffic. I'm sure the clutch on my NSX will be shorter lifespan! I want my Comptech Powergrip 2 clutch!
