I've always managed to be pretty easy on my stuff whilst still being fast. But I know a lot of guys just totally abuse the tranny and clutch. I cringe when I ride with them...

Well for you MT Pro out there, any advice to a future noob so I don't blow the clutch at 700 miles ..
I intend to STEP on Break and Let go of clutch till car shakes then let it engage naturally without gas first, Next Step I will watch for RPM DIP, as I give it a bit of gas n let go of more clutch RPM drops and I've been told thats when I let go of the clutch totally n give even more gas... right ? wrong ?

What about creeping up a hill? I have a stop sign at an incline. There's a line of cars in front of me stopping at the sign and taking off one by one. What do I do?

I blew my Clutch at 1200 on my 335i. it was my first manual transmission and i had like a week practice on a mini cooper. Stalling out in traffic, causing traffic jams on highway, starting the car in gear forcing it in to the sidewalks and curbs (fucking up the bumpers) i use to be in the body shop almost every week. yeah i learnt the hard way and its very possible to burn your clutch @ 700 miles.

when i was still learning, i waved LOTS of people past me, so i would have space to roll backwards while engaging 1st gear (if i needed. better to have and not need, then need and not have) also: see if you can find a rental that's manual. best way to practice |

I'd gotten into the habit of, while on a hill, watching if a car was approaching from the rear and letting off on the brakes a little. Some people really like to creep up, so I did just enough to let them know that I'm going to roll back a bit when I get going. Sure enough, a lot of people gave me extra room. I've been on some brutal hills at stop signs and even after driving stick for 15 years, I don't look forward to them.

Just checked the logs for my '92 Celica. I was second owner, and it was on the original clutch until September, 2010 @ 166,361mi. Nothing blew, it was just slipping and I didn't want to deal with it. Could have babied it along for quite awhile longer, I expect. I've had friends end clutches in <50k, both those that drive the car like they stole it, and those that just had terrible technique. I had never driven a manual transmission vehicle before I bought the Celica and I drove it home, learned on it, and still have it to this day. Hell, I just taught one of my friends how to drive an MT in it two weekends ago!

Not gonna lie, if I had taken people's advice and gotten the manual instead of the automatic this would probably be me. I can't drive manual at all so I'd probably tear the poor car up right away.

If you're keeping the RPMs below 2k when engaging then you're fine. People have different techniques for starting from first. In my CRX I used to modulate the throttle while engaging the clutch since it was so touchy. In the FR-S I bump and hold the RPMs to around 1-1.5k, engage clutch right to the point of engagement, hold until wheel speed matches engine speed, then fully engage clutch. This car is really hard to stall. You can get away with very little throttle when starting off from first.

I assume it was a combination of factors but I'm going to be even more careful with it because it shouldn't go through clutches that quick. |
