So backing out of my garage, I don't even touch the gas, I just let off the clutch about 1/4 and roll right out. Once I start rolling, I push the clutch all the way in, wait till I've gotten down the driveway then half engage and pull out onto the road.
Also, when starting off I only go to 1 to 1.5k and slowly release the clutch around maybe 10mph. It feels like I ride it a bit more than I should just compared to other manuals I've drive, but I have issue keeping the shifts smooth if I don't.
My wife's new Mustang has a very heavy clutch and I actually can't start it rolling without gas, kill it every time (except once when I went back in the house and celebrated with a beer), but the car shifts smoother to me. I can shift quicker with less time on the clutch.
Is this "normal" or am I doing something wrong? I never smell burn either, but my old Celi was more like the stang than the BRZ. It's like it's just more direct.
