Happened so many times: I'm about to stop and suddenly the

get a car with more torque and go into third

I drive a MazdaSpeed3, and currently in the process of flipping a Fiat 500 Abarth. Going from a 2.3l to a 1.4l is nuts. Stuff I could do in the mazda are impossible in the fiat.

Torque is really helpful in so many situations. I won't even waste my time telling you about how useless a Honda Insight with a 1.0l 3 cylinder in almost any situation other than cruising at 65mph (and that's not including the problems it has with hills)

get real. I'm a poor ass student. There's got to be a technique for this.

>>16904894
Also drive a speed3 and agree, I had a 944 a few years ago and it would struggle on hills and force me to downshift. The speed3 doesn't give a damn and just goes up shit at whatever gear, whatever rpm.

rev matching at like 10-15 km/h? blipping the throttle at this speed and revs will result in more or less burning the clutch, won't it?

It's a wear item

Alternatively atop following so close

Rev match.

>>16904839
Pop into second, give it a bunch of gas and slip the clutch until you're going fast enough.

>>16904839
either accelarate with low rpm's or fucking git gud and learn to anticipate what traffic is going to do.

Then again traffic is batshit fucking crazy, but during its non crazy time it is really predictable.

thanks

>>16904968
a good rev match should cause no clutch wear as the engine and transmission would be travelling at the same speed

>>16904839
either rev match into first or just shift into second and slowly accelerate.

Also what POS are you driving? My first car was a shit box with 75HP and a five speed. 1st was only used to get moving, second was good enough if I was moving.

>>16904839
You mentioned your awful footwork. Just practice rev matching. I figured out how to rev match in my first two weeks of driving a stick.

>>16904839
double clutch rev match into 1st

90HP Mitsubishi Colt, five speed.

my footwork is quite good. It's awful in this particular situation, cuz I simply don't know what to do :)

>>16904920
second or third never go to first unless your under 20mph
