Hi all,
I picked up my 2013 mt82 5.0 a couple days ago. This is my first manual transmission car and I have a couple questions. I have pretty much got starting in first and shifting through the gears pretty good, not always super smooth but it is getting better each day. I am still having trouble on hills and sometimes kinda panic and give it to much gas while slipping the clutch and have smelt some burnt clutch after this happens. How bad is this for the clutch? I just have to make sure I'm not doing anything to bad for the trans while I am learning the ropes.
Another thing I noticed is I get a clunk noise when I am going slow in first gear and press the clutch in. Sounds to be coming from the rear. I've read these trans are clunky and I'm sure it's normal, just wanted to ask.
Also, I still haven't gone WOT in any gear. Don't want to mess anything up. How long did you wait before really banging through the gears for the first time?
Thanks
