Your leg will get stronger and clutch will get easier over time, too. |
I'll try this out tonight, it definitely seems the way to go. Yeah I understand mechanically how things work with the manual trans, the biggest thing I suck at is keeping the rpm constant as the clutch starts to engage. Like I can quickly get to 1500 or so RPM with the throttle as I am letting the slack out of the clutch, but then when I hit the engagement point the revs drop almost to 0 and I have trouble giving it more gas without overshooting. I think once I get that down I should be good, I've already got 1-2 shifts down fine and the other shifts and reverse fine.
