Icon2 Having tough time getting out of gear with 6puck

can anyone give me tips on driving my lsvtec with 6 puck clutch? Idk its just pretty hard to get out of 1st and 2nd without either making alot of noise (tires spinning) or stalling out. Im trying to get used to it but its a real effort esp in traffic, i dont want to be making a scene lol. This is going to be swapped into my eg and then used as a daily driver. SHould I just change out the clutch when i swap? if so what stage? Tips on this please.

Just drive it more. 6-puck doesn't really matter, its the pressure plate. Took me about a week to adapt to mine.

I drive it every day in light-medium traffic. Heavy traffic when I'm in big cities.

last time i drove it wasnt too bad. i guess you pretty much have to ride the clutch in the low gears.

I don't, just slip it. Riding it is going to cause it to wear extremely fast.

Yeah, I just have driven mine enough to know where it wants the clutch to be. Sometimes I over do it and it wants to run away or spin, and sometimes I nearly stall it, but its really not that hard.

But I'm not sure what answer you're looking for, the clutch is going to act how its going to act, unless you want me to say the magic word and make it drive like a stock PP and a 25lb flywheel, you just have to get used to driving it.
