I was just wondering about how grabby the clutch can be. I have had the car for 2 days and are still learning the shift times. The car just jumps when letting go of the clutch or when shifting down or up. I know this is normal its just a matter of learning the clutch and when the car likes to shift. If there is any advice that anyone has please post it? I can use all the information I can read.

Thanks in advance,

It's grabby, and the first few days at least you have to really get used to pushing the clutch ALL THE WAY down to the floor when you shift from gear to gear or you will miss the shift (But I didn't do that! ha ha ha) The clutch is way down to the floor and the shifting, at least in my car,was very precise at first and still is and took some getting used too, even though I drove a stick before. Had to really be sure you had the clutch down in between gears and really be sure you moved the shifter into gear or you got GAAACCCCKKKKK if you catch my drift. Hope that helps a little. It gets better pretty quick once you get used to the precise shifting and the clutch. But the clutch does grab good still, you just get more used to it, and the pushing the pedal down.

Just curious, do you own the car or does your Mom?

If I press the clutch all the way down I get that jerking movement. In the beginning I think it's better to push the clucth most of the way down until you get used to the car, but as time goes by you'll find that you don't have to push much at all. In general the transmission seems to be "notchy" but once you learn the proper shift points, it can be pretty smooth.

Pay attention to how you shift, try different things at different speeds/revs etc. and see what works best for you. Above all enjoy it all you can )

Well , I meant at first, I agree with your observation that it gets better over time Krunch
