but remember... he has paddle shifters. lmao! he started a post asking when to shift with them once... that was one of his best posts yet

 

unv, thats what i ment not to launch just to simply start

 

lol no clue on your question but about the loudness. Two days ago my mom and i go into the dealership, he pulls the car into there garage so we can take it for a test drive (mind you the garage is closed) he was waiting for me to fire the engine to open the garage door... so i did. My mom goes "OMG ITS SO LOUD, YOU CAN'T EVEN HERE YOURSELF THINK!!!" i was laughing so hard and new at that pt this was the car!!! (actually like two minutes after when i floored the car that only had 8 miles on it... poor thing) haha anyway congrats Vinny im on your same boat my baby is coming on tuesday!!!

 

I have a friend that always starts in 2nd gear. He asked me what that smell was one day, and I told him thats him burning the clutch. I'm not sure why he doesnt just use 1st!!!

 

Guys thanks alot i had my baby out since like 830, took my dad to the doctors etc drove around a bit. Im loving it i stalled once today, so jerk off was on my *** blowing his horn got me a bit nervous.. But other then that it was awesome. Got some highway miles on it crusin in 4th gear. Im loving it thanks alot guys..

My start is practically perfect, no jumping so smooth. I love it lol

Thanks alot guys it really helped

 

Anytime. Practice makes perfect. Pretty soon you won't even have to think about it while driving, you'll just shift / drive without any problems.

 

Been driving MT cars for a little over 20 years now. The best way I have figured out to teach others how to drive is not so much with throttle control, but by starting off with clutch control. I'll take people out and tell them to slowly let the clutch out WITHOUT using the throttle. Once they get the hang of launching without the throttle at idle rpms, then I get them to start adding a little gas. My theory is, every car has a gas pedal, but not every car has a clutch, and every cars clutch is just a little bit different.

For what it's worth, I've had manual transmissions in my last five cars and I've stalled my G. Every car is unique with clutch pedal force and it takes time to adjust. As said above, practice makes perfect. No worries. People will honk at you while you're learning, and that's fine. Don't let it bother you at all.

 

i stall all the time. who cares. I havent stalled in few months but it happens. For hte guyblowing his horn, next time wait until the light turns yellow then go. that will teach him to be a ****.

 

thx guyss it really helped

 

yea G is not an easy MT to take control of.. my friend who owns a C-Class MT for over almost 5 years and he stalled THREE times on my G today!! LOL.. I mean I don't blame him but yeah it does takes a lot of time to make it right...

 

really? i didn't think it was that hard to pick up. it's probably because i'm a stud. yeah that sounds about right. haha jk.

 

^^^ lmao

 

hahaha. hey i see you're from chatsworth. i have no clue how old you are, but one of my college buddies is from there. u kno a sam chun by chance? haha who knows, it's a small world.

 

1st gear 3500rpm feather clutch and dump that ****. that'll get you going
