i wouldn't be able to record the sound good enough. i'm thinkin thats wat it is because it doesn't happen all the time, i just realized that i do this sometimes when i back up. Other than that i don't ride the clutch. It just sounds like trying to drive with the e brake on

Practice in a parking lot or something until it is second nature, you will be alright.

Put the seat relatively upright and move the seat fwd/back so your wrists or palms sit on the top of the steering wheel without having to lean forward. It's how I've always been taught and it is very comfortable even after many many laps on the track.

Scathe Take it to an EVO tuning shop and have them drive it to see what they think. It's too difficult to tell without being there. it may be your transmission going it dosen't sound like your differential, I haven't heard of anyone blowing their X transmission. My Race transmission whine's but I hear it's fairly normal.
