Alright , for those who already know where the sweet spot is on the clutch... So what you do is....Hold the clutch all the way in shift to first. then go straight to the sweet spot.. or do you slowly go to the sweet spot? I am trying to learn how do people take off so fast with there manual car's, everytime i am taking off i spend a large amount of time looking for the sweet spot,

I always "kick" the accelerator one time as I'm letting out of the clutch and just as you feel the clutch catch start idling up. Its really all about feel, the best thing you can do is sit in the car while idling, on a flat road, wear there is no traffic and just gently let out of the clutch and let it move you, without using the gas. The car with move slight foward without gasing it. If you do this over and over without the pressure of some guy honking behind you, you will get use to where your clutch catches, because every car is different. I hope this helps and Good Luck

Get you and old beater and take it out to the woods and tear it up. Practice is what you need. Learn how to take off without spinning the wheels. Learn where the sweet spot really is. Every vehicle is just a little different but once you learn how to tell where it is it won't take long once you are behind the wheel to figure out where it is.

ever noticed how we rev the engine a little then ease off of the clutch. the sweet spot is for driving, not take off.

rev the motor, dump the clutch and hold on. Then explain why your car is trashed and in need of repair all the time.

Go slow, you'll live longer. So will your car. If not practice practice practice
