tire skidding

RE: tire skidding
my first few days driving mine around i would shift around 2krpm on the highways, and dead starts i tried to stay around there, found my civic was happy shifting around there... doesn't judder from being too low, and doesn't jump at being too high.
best way i practiced getting clutch control is go to an empty parking lot and just practice getting it in gear w/o using the gas peddle.
I found this a great way to practice.

thanks for the help! good news...i dont skid the tires anymore or really rev the engine up when i'm about to go into first. i would give it about a month of driving everyday to get the hang of it.

well yea like everyone else said just be a little easier on the gas and let the clutch out slowly and steadily. to make ur clutch last longer simply use it carefully...u dont have to baby it but dumping the clutch at 6000 rpms isnt always good. ull get the hang of it.
i never had that problem though. my second or 3rd time driving a standard i could shift and take off fine, it was just wierd putting it in nuetral before coming to a stop. i guess thats because i raced motocross since i was 7. it seemed like that helped me with any type of motor.
