well first gear goes to 35-40mph and second goes to about 60-65mph and third goes from 95-100 so if your doing 40 in 5th gear you should have no problem dumping it into second.
His not gonna crash the car and his not gonna burn the clutch. The 370 has a pretty good clutch so you shouldnt even worry about that. You just have to take it slow until you get the hang of it and never get nervous.

Once you get the "feel" it will be smooth but having driven other systems with a mechanical connection I find the memory effect from driving them still causes me to almost stall from a dead start once in a while. It does get better with experience. The 370 could be a challenge for someone just learning.

is there a way to change this? i mean is there a way to make the throttle response quicker? it doesnt take that long for the car to rev up but if it could do it faster i wouldnt mind at all.
