Re: “Clutch start of a manual transmissions equipped automobile”?

I have clutch started in reverse before and it wasn't too bad. I started to let the clutch out to where I felt the beginning of resistance then very quickly let out just a tiny bit more and VERY quickly shove the clutch back in. I usually clutch start in a forward direction though.

At that moment I began to allow myself to work for progress and competitiveness that no one else can touch unless they are as determined as you were. That spirit alone was enough to convince me to finally drop how I was learned to drive and began teaching myself new ways to let the road drive the car and not drive the car on the road.

Couldn't have done it without the help of the whole community of cleanmpg and the dudes at gassavers. What a beautiful community we are creating, one that we can take a wiff of big air and go, "Yum."

Interesting times ahead. and as for the reverse... maybe one more try.... and i'll edit this post to let you guys know if its really possible.
