O ok that makes a bit more sense then. :tup:

I always drive with my foot in the air, but I'll try the coming out of stop heal on floor technique.

Yeah I think it does feel weird to switch gears with the heel on the floor.
I'm just trying everything since I'm new to this. Trying to see which position I feel more comfortable with. But I gotta say my thighs haven't touched my seat yet as well.

Sounds like you should move your seat up

Seat up? Im 6'4" I need it all the way back :ugh2:. When I said my thighs don't tough the seat I meant my legs are so long I can't keep them flat on the seat I have to bend my knees thereby raising my thighs higher.

I didn't realize you said that, I only saw that theboydiddy did, sorry. I wouldn't expect you to move your seat forward if you're 6'4 lol

How tall are you boydiddy?

:tup: no worries

haha, i think i actually drag my heel on the floor when i shift. Never really thought about it until now...

I just got done driving and I noticed that I roll in 2nd gear even when I'm going slow 5-10mph. If the car is moving never on 1st gear. 1st gear ONLY when stopped and beginning to move again. I also noticed that I parked and forgot to pull the hand break. Luckly I always park and put on 1st gear and it wasn't a hill (immature mistakes)

so the bodidddy you talking about driving MT on a Altima or on the Z with SRM? :confused: if altima, just double-clutch and rev high. you should be able to enter 1st gear if you do it right even at 15mph.

but again, i fyou're moving forward, just use 2nd gear.

Talking about the Z M/T with SRM. I know I have to change my "drive" thing.
I don't ever switch to first. I find it pointless. If I'm coming to a stop sign I usualy just hold the clutch down and rolling look both ways and continue on 2nd gear taking off really slow. If I'm coming to a stop sign on a busy street I hold the clutch down (put it on first gear but continue to roll without letting go the clutch.) Make a complete stop 1st gear is already in with the clutch being held so then i let go the clutch slow and proceed. I don't drive with the s-mode on. I wanna practice and understand the car first, learn how to down shift as well. After I master all of that then I'll use the SRM, fix my clutch that is kicking back a lot and too high up as well

sounds like you may want to try adjusting the clutch pedal engagement height. i was annoyed at the midpoint clutch engagement, as I like to have my heel on the floor as a pivot. I had it adjusted as low as possible. It now engages about 2" off the floor. ;) Much easier to modulate and live with.

^^^^random year old thread bump:inoutroflpuke:

I was a bit surprised by the bump as well, since I started it, haha.

I was googling about it last night and ran into your thread
