Just purchased the new Rally Yellow SS and am very very impressed so far.
The question I have is that its been 15 years since the last time I drove a manuel trans, and that was during a medical emergency on the Los Angeles freeway of all places.
I'd never driven one before till that point, so the leg was hopping like crazy from nerviousnes. It was one of those monkey see monkey do situations, me being the monkey that is.
Anyways, i"m having a real problem getting the 1st to 2nd shift down right, everytime I get into 2nd gear the car has a stuttering to it before it smooths out.
Any suggestions, on proper shift points, speed and rpm?
I think I'm letting the clutch out to soon, but again this is all new to me.
Thanks guys.
By the way what does riding the clutch mean, I hear its bad, how do I avoid doing it.
