I hope practice makes perfect because this clutch is so temperamental at the moment with my stump feet

have no fear, i have been driving stick shift for years and i stalled the other day. granted i was messing around with a friend but it still happens.
keep your chin up and keep practising.

Easy Clutch Grab Adjustment (THIS ONE IS FREE- TAKES 10 MINS!)

Considering I live in an area with some heavy stop and go traffic, I'm too scared to make the clutch stiffer even if it means I'll drive smoother... my leg needs more time at the gym! lol

You'd get used to it in 2 minutes. My wife loves driving it.

Don't like it? Reinstall the old one. Half hour, tops.

I sometimes grind going from 3rd to 4th gear. It happens maybe once every 30 shifts, my co-worker's FRS doesn't have any issues with gear grinding, so maybe just a few less than stellar transmissions out there. It's not a real big deal for me though, my civic si grinded every so often going into 2nd, and it was never an issue (I owned it from 80k through 140k miles)
