So I just did a mod overhaul and am amazed how powerful this car feels compared to stock. Only thing left to do is put the new Sumitomo's on tomorrow morning but I have an issue.

I can't shift without chirping the tires from a dead stop unless it's completely level road. I've only ever driven a stickshift since I learned how to drive but anyone want to smack their forehead, shake their head, and explain the mechanics of a perfect shift?

EDIT: I know how to shift and the basics of it but with these new 4.10s and the increase in RW HP what rpms do you guys rev to and let the clutch out? Do u ride it somewhat until you're rollin or engage then pop it out?

ease out the clutch slowly and the car slowly pulls away.....i think if you are "chirping" everytime you must be dumping the clutch more or less

Eh, the only time it really happens is when I have boots on. I can shift fine all day wearing normal shoes. As soon as I get in uniform and wear the army boots, It goes to ****

Maybe this will give you a little help....

the boots can be a pain there so damn big lol

yup...for me, boots and sandles are both "no-nos" when it comes to manuals...takes me a few minutes to get used to the feel of not wearin regular shoes

yep, the boots add like an inch to your foot. always takes me a few shifts to get used to it again lol.
and yes, i did just put 4.10s in

Same here, if I have sandals on and I'm about to drive the GT... I just take them off and drive barefoot. My sandals always seem to get hooked on one pedal or the other anyways and that's made for a few scary situations! [:@]
