Re: Clutch Porn

With practice, you'll find the clutch is not aggressive at all taking off. It's just a non-compressible disk, so the friction point is very short. Just release it to where the car starts moving, and leave it there. It should not 'chatter', and bang on and off like a older style bronze friction puck clutch would. Mine is actually VERY smooth. However, sometimes the CLUTCH will let out a metallic squeak as it engages that can be mistaken for a tire chirp.

If it's not chattering between engagement and disengagement, it's engaging smoothly.

Keep getting practice!

Good Luck!
