Hi all,

This my first FR car and I do not use S-Mode when I drive, feels like it takes more gas...

Anyway, a lots of time when I shift 1st to 2nd, I hear knocking sound.
I usually shift a gear @ 2500rpm, I think I shift too early thats why it makes knocking sound?

Also, when I put 1st gear to hit the acceleration a little, i feel like it is grind my clutch. So I usually hit the gas paddle and let the clutch go.
Any other cars that I drove(6spd) I always hit the gas paddle and same time I let clutch go. But When I drive this car like this, sounds like grinding my clutch. Any advise?
