holding the clutch down?..bad?
i wasent sure of a title of this thread..but somtimes when im shifting or when i started learing how to shift i notice alot of time that i would shift then i would push on the gas to much wile not letting out of the clutch enoph and it would of course rev up a bit then i would just let out of the clutch....anyways, what does this wear down? or srew up?

Clutch wears down faster. Screw up? nothing I can think of. Maybe synchro life goes down a bit too, not entirely sure on that one though. Just quit doing it will be chill.

Driving a car for a year now??? If your still riding and grinding your clutch, change your habits or buy an automatic. Dont mean to be too harsh, but I dont want the clutch to give out on you and leave you stranded... you get better...peace

I've also been holding my clutch pedal down during break lights... wish I knew earlier.
I can't seem to get a perfect launch when I'm in neutral either, the civy tends to jerk acouple times. What am I doing wrong? I've gotten opposite answers from friends, and I trust them both. But someone doesn't know what he's talking about.
