sweet! light chatter or slipping while moving uphill from a stop is completely normal. especially if you dont live in the hills that much. of course, starting on a hill requires more gas. if you are one who lives more in the flats, your legs will actually retain a bit of muscle memory, in terms of how much gas for how much cltuch, where the enganging point of the clutch is, etc. im sure u know what im talking about. now if the chatter and slipping were all of a sudden happening during your normal commutes an was and issue that came up multiple times, id say its something to be worried about. a once or twice clutch burn aint bad....to an extent. accidental slippage wont harm. am i correct though? this issue just came up once or twice at most?
