26 hours and I have manual down PERFECTLY! ... well, my down shifting could use a little work, but I can go from stop to first without a single problem now! I didn't stall once this afternoon. Yesterday afternoon I stalled once in traffic at a light. I always used to try to barely tap the gas, but I've learned you've got to rev the gas and slowly release the clutch, VERY slowly. But I can drive to school tomorrow! but I won't dream of doing that and getting it dented, scratched, keyed, all this stuff.
My clutch engages at about half way, then I can bring it back down to 1/3 of the way out to drive slowly, like a driveway or drive through window. The Gas is really touchy, though! If you take the clutch out slow enough the RSX auto engages so I don't have to use any gas at all! I love my car, and silver isn't boring it's classy and racy. It's desert silver, and the red looks dumb. Blue is alright. Insurance on silver is also lower than on red.
