I am curious as to how you drive a true manual car without the clutch
You need it really only from a dead stop. The other gears can be rev-matched and it'll go right into gear.
I use the clutch all the time though. Driving clutch-less, there's a hard learning curve for your transmission...

then why have a manual?clutchless on the last manual car I had, next one will be same thing cuz im just too lazy to press clutch in every time.
wow there are some fools on this site.
i object to the term "slushbox" especially since a built auto will outperform a built manual every time where it matters. then again..maybe some of you guys are into fast and the furious style shifting where you somehow have 500 gears.
i drove my 79 hard...really hard...harder than most of you would ever imagine putting your car through. 6700 rpm shifts full on the t56. i was young and stupid and i regret it. nothing like killing a twin disc clutch in less than 1k miles.
i'll take my "slushbox" anyday now.
Its not always about "all out performance" or "fast and the furious". To a lot people, driving a manual is much more engrossing and enjoyable than an auto.
Autos are faster, the ONLY advantage a manual car has is for road racing and that's not even that much.
I used to be manual guy, but after enduring it for 5 years...looking back my previous hot rod had a nice built AT...and it was more fun.
This thread says how do you drive your manual car....so why you in here? Just sounds like you don't know how to drive a carIt is for me. built auto and giant converter on my last DD. i don't mess around with cutesy wootsy "gas clutch shift clutch gas repeat " I guess for some people it IS fun...if i had a slow car i'd want it to feel as quick as possible as well. Lower the bitch, stiff springs, stage 3+ clutch on a stock motor stock trans stock diff just for that "hells ya" feel.
I like you. even though your avatar creeps me out a bit.
