It's all about learning where the "biting" point is. Give it time. Practice in the driveway or up your street.

god I remember when I 1st learnt to drive and was so nervous I used to get dead bad wobbly clutch foot! Me foot would get all nervous and I satlled like f u c k!

Best thing to do it find flat ground, put in gear and dont use accelerator - just gently lift foot off the clutch and listen to the engine noise - when it bites, the car will shake a little and youl hear the engine note dive - the car will also start to roll. Old quiet car park in an evening is a good time to try this or v queit street.

Time, patience and practive - and remember mirror signal manouver!

:o :)

The way I learned was to put the handbrake on, then slowly let the clutch out and give it a bit of gas, when the clutch reaches biting point the back end of the car will go down, providing your handbrake works :0)

Give it some beans.

rev to 6700rpm... slide foot off side of clutch pedal
