manual . shifting question

just to make sure here.... Is your car the cobra in the picture? Thats a hell of a car to learn stick on. If it is, your definatly gonna notice anything your lacking in finess.
To answer your question about too fast or to slow letting go of the clutch.
If its too slow you will never "Jerk" while releasing. Releasing slow is allowing the clutchs to continue to slip for a long time, making the transition smooth, but your clutch life short.
To fast of a let go, while not giving it enough gas and your car will learch as the diveline slows it, then jerk as you jump back on the gas to quick, in reaction to the slowing, creating the common slow then launch effect alot of newbies to manual have.
I would still get the brace though, its cheap and a REAL nice unit.
