Default RPM too high while balancing in 1st gear?

okay, so maybe the title doesn't sound correct. But i was wondering what RPM is good for you to engage your gas to meet with your clutch so your vehicle can move. I heard if you put your RPM pass 3 K while holding on to the clutch it would mess up your clutch. So maybe if you balance it to 2 RPM would it be less of a strain on your clutch? just a noob question NO FLAME'n PLEASE!

less revs would be less strain on the clutch.

you can engage your clutch at 1k it doesnt matter.. i let my clutch out low because its a stage 2 and if i let it out at high revs.. it jerks the car pretty bad.. u find out where u like to let it out at by driving everyday

just learn how to drive man. there's no specific rpm. each car is different depending on many factors. some people gotta rev high cuz their clutch is weak like mine. or some people just drop the clutch quickly cuz its a racing clutch. but yea usually if you rev above 3 and your car aint moving it burns your clutch. but if you rev to like 4-5k and let you clutch out kind of fast but not dropped it will launch your car

It also depends where you are driving, like starting to go down a steep hill you might not even need the gas.

I don't know what RPM I hold it at though, cause my CX doesn't have a tach, just high enough that it doesn't take too much more than 2 seconds to release the clutch.

sometime if i rev it to 1.5 and engage the gas my car start to shake. Is that a sign of my clutch going weak? I forgot to mention i got a performance stage 1 clutch in a bone stock B16 in an EM1. nothing too special
