Wow, learning to drive a stick... I think I learned when I was 12, so that makes it almost 13 years ago. I agree with most of whats been said already:
1: There are no two cars that have the same clutch.
2: Practice makes perfect - lots and lots of practice.
3: High revs - slow let out of the clutch.
4: Practice, practice, practice...

I have a question for the driveline-savvy among us: Is wear really that bad on modern, syncromesh transmissions? I mean, aren't they built for people who aren't imbued with the gift of perfect rev-matching skills? I'm just curious...

Merry xmas to all, and to all a happy New Year.
