Perhaps you need to learn to drive stick?

The only thing I've noticed is that if I am able engage first at a very low rpm (below, say, 900 or so) the car is sluggish at first. Dunno?

my car is sluggish at low rpm's too, but i have started in third forgetting to downshift at a light or something and havent stalled it, learn to feel you clutch

you arent even of legal age to drive let alone have your learners permit..unless they changed it..in ny..i think its the fact you need to learn how to drive stick...my little cousin is 13 and when i try to teach him how to drive stick in a parking lot he always downshifts to 3rd and leaves it there when he stops then he wonders why its:

1.Sluggish
2. Stalls
