Hi Guys,

ive recently brought a Trans Am over from the US which has been set up a bit for racing, it has a button clutch which im trying to get used to myself... when you take off, are you supposed to have high revs or very little and ease it off??? im also getting some shuddering, im not sure whether the clutch needs adjusting or is it just down to my mishandling and poor knowledge of how to use it

any tips appreciated!!

Ta, Von

blip throttle and release the clutch as the revs are falling to get the car going off the mark, pretty hard to not get the shudder when reversing tho

Spot on, had one in my sfideen......an aggressive slip works but with less give in the AWD the above method is the go for day to day stuff.

Blip* throttle trick works for me. That and keeping the revs higher than normal on gear changes.

I'll be going organic simple clutch system next time, wife can't drive my WRX with this clutch and it's pissing me off big time.
