Re: what is riding the clutch (killerboots)
when you leave ure foot on the clutch driving so that the clutch is rubbing instead of being fully engaged. Its very bad for the clutch, dont do it.

I dont put it up to 2500 i usually let it stay at 1000-1500 and let up on the clutch. Keep giving it gas so it stays at 1000-1500 rpms and just slowly let out.

Re: what is riding the clutch (steve_s)
well, my engine right now is kinda messed, so it idles at around 1000 (warm) - 1500 (cold) rpms.. so i guess holding it at those rpms is kinda usless...
but i get my new engine next week, so ill start then
if i do depress the clutch at 2000 or less, the car feels like it is ready to stall cause the tach drops right down to 100 rpms or less when i depress the clutch
