^He just means you should learn the engagement point of the clutch in relation to the pedal position.

This is the trick you need to work on and perfect: right foot on the brake, left on the clutch... ease the clutch out until it starts to grab (the RPMs will drop a bit), then a quick move of the right foot from the brake to the gas, give it a LITTLE gas (don't redline it), and ease the clutch out a little more so it grabs enough to prevent you rolling back (don't just dump the clutch at that point)... then continue letting the clutch out GENTLY and give it a little more gas so you start moving.

Practice this on a smaller slope to help you get the feel and coordination of the process, without needing to worry about rolling back too much.

It's all about the clutch and gas. I also suggest wearing thin (puma) shoes to get the maximum feel of the pedals.

thanks

From a stand still:

1. Clutch in(quickly)
2. Floor gas for 1 second, allow 1-2 bounces off rev limiter
3. Drop clutch
4. Depress brake lightly, to leave the back wheels spinning but allow your fronts to grab
5. Hand out window, peace sign, big smile with eyes closed

^It's not riding a clutch, per say. It's finding out where it engages. That is the problem all noobs have.

^That's why you practice it on a small slope or even on the flat, so you can get the feel without burning out the clutch or rolling back into something.

once you start driving more, your left leg will will be trained to 'memorize' the pressure point and it just gets easier from there

just keep practicing and you'll do fine

Practice accelerating from stop on a flat surface first. You should be able to get your car moving just like that (3 seconds?), without revving the rpm really high or releasing the clutch really slow. Once you get the hang of it, you should be able to get your car moving without even thinking about it. THEN, go practice on a hill. Get really comfortable with starting on flat service first. I think a lot of newbie (me in the past), try to tackle hill too early, and end up burning the clutch. The moment you released the brake, you'll panic when your car rolls backward, and by instinct, you'll rev the car really high, to avoid stalling the car, and release the clutch really quickly. When you finally get the hang of it, you can keep your car stationary on a hill without brake/ Ebrake, though not intended to be done often. Hope this helps.

just go to a hill and practice WITHOUT using handbrake...or get an auto like me

CONQUER YOUR FEARS!!!

you have no idea how fast you will learn if you stall your car and have people honk at you, or if you start doing burnout just to get over a hill...panic breeds skill lol

good way of finding your friction point:
go to an empty parking lot and hold your ebrake up. hold your revs at about 1500 and slowly release the clutch. then the car starts to "sit", thats when you know where your friction point is at.

yeah, once you get used to it's it's just like breathing i suggest... if you must park on a slope like boundary... to:

put in 1st
pull up e brake
let clutch out (when you feel the car sorta, huffing and puffing)
give it gas, when you do that, it should like hunch down sorta like it's trying to start, at that time, release the e brake after a coupel weeks you won't need to use it, just takes getting use to good luck!

just go out late at night when theres virtually nobody on the road. go to any big hill.. boundary/hastings.. boundary/kingsway.. renfrew/broadway.. rupert/broadway. and just try to stay floating on the hill.. brake then try to go up again.. that way you can time urself better without being worried about hitting the guy behind you.

boundary and hastings.... turn left one block before the lights. turn right at the stop sign. now you're at hastings with a light. which is usually faster to get though then the boundary one. no hills. route planning FTW.

what alphamale said.

ok. you don't use this to HOLD the car in place at a red light. you obviously have clutch in, brake in.

when the light is about to go green, you clutch to that "point" and you can move your right foot from break to gas without the car/truck rolling backwards.

that's what i mean. don't replace the brake with the clutch holding. just learn where it is.
