yeah, if you drop the clutch too quickly you will hear that noise...happened to me when I got a new clutch and wasn't used to it.

I loved power shifting in my friends eg. Those were the days..

Back on topic, just shift smooth and you shouldnt have a problem..

correct me if im wrong.. i am new to awd, mitsus, etc. but is that now how you launch the car?

agreed, hondas dont make much power, but they are fun to drive you can tear the F up out of them and they are veryy cheap to fix
it kind of gets to be a pain in the *** to replace **** so much

Yeah, hes pushing close to 500hp, and he still wont let me get under the hood to take a look, but i think I know what it is lol


But about the launch.. its called 2stepping, and yeah thats how you lunch, you can either dump the clutch, or slip it.

power shifting is keeping the pedal to the metal when you shift when you hit the clutch, shift, and don't let up on the gas, bad for an AWD for sure as well as most cars

rev matching is when you match rpms to mph

double clutching is for cars/trucks that don't have cyncros and isn't at all necessary on modern cars, but many big trucks still require it- clutch in- shift to neutral-clutch out, clutch in again- shift into gear

hope that helps

don't power shift, even in a honda. very bad for syncros, drivetrain and transmission. this is why a lot of honda boys complain about 2nd gear grind or not being able to get into gear. you can still shift fast without leaving your foot on the throttle in between shifts.

uuuhhhh, not true, my integra was my daily driver and i was on 12psi. you just have to be mature and dont beat on it everyday and try to race everyone that revs you
