dead stop from 2nd

kenchan · 03-09-2010, 04:44 PM

if my car is rolling, even slightly, i would consider using 2nd gear (no need to blip, just engage the clutch gently) but from a standstill i would just use 1st gear.

if my car is rolling considerbly obviously i would rev match before engaging.

QFT. My daily has 325 ft-lbs of torque, but if I'm at a dead stop, I use first. Anything over 2-3 mph, second gear can be used without adding any throttle till the clutch is hooked up.

FWIW, I've never replaced a clutch in anything I've owned, except in the rare case where I've already dropped the tranny so I'll replace whatever else is in there while it's all apart.
