So I took my first trip to San Fran and luckily I didnt have my WRX with me. I drove a rental car and was happy because the hills in the city are crazy. How do you keep a clutch good with those hills?

 

its not that hard, you just have to know how to drive a stick

use your ebrake if needed

 

Werd. Its called mad skillz s0n

Call me De-Lux

 

after you gain that feel for where exactly your clutch engages you will be able to just instantly gas and pull out the clutch and make solid engagement without tearing up your clutch.. almost every suby driver i have heard drive revs up waaay too high, and pulls the clutch out way too slow. when the light turns green, hill or flat i go, no high rev up then move. you gotta gain that feel or else quick clutch replacements will occur.

 

welcome to my streets.. = ) .. haha yah its a B**** but you get better along the way.. #1 rule.. dont DIE OUT! ... n practice.. take it to california st. for a test hill... GL!

 

still on the original clutch. 6 years+.

 

omg, one time we decided to go up lombard st. (where crooked(sp?) st. is) and we saw the traffic backed up all the way to vanness, and the cars are going about 3 to 4inch every after 5mins. i was only half way up and i said eff it!! my foot got tired and we just headed to the fishermans warf. i only brought my wrx up there once but it wasnt that traffic at all but that time it was like bumper to bumper and the asshat minivan at the back of me didnt give me enough space incase if i roll back a bit from a stop. ....

 

hill holder FTW...

but it just takes practice! keep it up!

 

that shiz is easy.

 

+1.

 

+1 again.

man. do some pracice on hills outside the city. use the e-brake if need be.

-rich

 

<--- 86,XXX miles and still on original clutch on my 02

 

SF is easy japanesey dude! Just start to roll forward like you would do at a regular stop, just 3 times faster.

 

sadly for 06WRX4ME there arent any hills around here that even come close to the ones in SF. However, I can kick *** in the city.....4EAT=no clutch

 

I was rolling backwards in an automatic. I know I could do it in my WRX, but my leg would be so damn tired.

+2 for SF drivers. -2 for the crazy a$$ cab drivers
