Omg thank you so much. I learned more from reading this than my uncle and dad trying to teach me. I feel more comfortable driving my new car.

I think it’s ridiculous that he says you should slip the clutch and not need the brake on hills. Thats all wrong if you want to avoid ruining the clutch. Premature failure is never fun!

It is much easier on the clutch to just put the car in neutral and brake when trying to stay stationary on a hill.

This [Ed: "this" referring to what exactly?] is a great way to destroy your clutch.

NOT TOO SURE IF YOU ARE ENDORSING CLUTCH SLIPPING AS A MEANS OF HOLDING YOURSELF ON HILL IN REAL WORLD CONDITIONS. YOUR SPEED BUMP METHOD IS GOOD FOR GETTING THE FEEL BUT NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD DO FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. PERHAPS AN ABBREVIATED EXPLAINATION OF FLYWHEEL AND FRICTION PLATE WOULD MAKE PEOPLE MORE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WHEN YOU FEATHER THE CLUTCH.
