Hey I have a few questions about driving manual. I'm a beginner at it. I've only been driving it for two days...so I was wondering if I'm doing it correctly, and I'm pretty sure I'm not...
Sometimes I do good, sometimes I don't. I think I am hurting the clutch when I drive, and I don't want to do that.
What I do is rev it to about 2k-3k rpms (sometimes a little higher by accident) and then release the clutch slowly (i've found the engagement point already). Usually I'm good at this when I'm on flat surface...but it still takes me a good 3-5 seconds before i start moving. How do I do this more quickly like right at the second? I try to do it quickly but sometimes when I do it I'll either stall or do a little peel out burn out. And I roll back a lot going uphill from a stop. Any advice on how to go up a hill without too much of a rollback (I roll back enough to hit the car behind me but fortunately this has not happened)
This is probably one of my worst problems...hills
When I shift to another gear the car boggles and jolts...so I know I'm not doing it right...sometimes it's smooth sometimes it's not. Any advice here also? Is what I'm doing hurting the clutch?
How long does it take usually before you have to replace the clutch? And if my clutch goes out, will it be covered under Honda warranty (i'm thinking it's not).
I stalled a lot the first day so my prelude took a beating...
I think those are my only problems so far ... I practice everyday to get better at it ... but just wanted to get some advice
Sorry for the amount of questions ... but thanks for taking the time to answer them (if u do)
BTW, I'm new here (as you can see by these questions haha) ... I drive a 2001 Satin Silver lude ... so just wanted to say whats up!
