[QUOTE="Lethalchem, post: 13268095, member: 8054"] Get a feel for the grab point (which is indeed high, just like I like it. I don't know why so many people have issues with it), raise your initial rev point (since you predominantly stall it), pause/hold the gas as you let off the clutch until you've started rolling THEN SLOWLY SQUEEZE in more throttle before holding throttle position again. The car seems to like a 2 stage approach to moving out. First stage to get rolling, then a little more for stage 2 to "arrive" in first gear smoothly. I had to adopt the same approach on my '03 Cobra when I put in a SPEC 3+ clutch and steel flywheel. Too much or too little resulted in bucking or spin. You'll get the hang of it, but not if you don't get out there and practice. On a side note, make sure your Hill Assist is selected and working. It will help you get started but I've heard of a couple guys who had accidentally shut it off. [/QUOTE]
