If it spins do it again and slow down the rate you let the clutch up. Keep the rate steady for the whole pedal travel. Repeat until you find the rate that works. You can do this at any rpm and find the rate that lets the car move out w/out spinning. With some practice you will get a good feel for clutch engagement vs. tire spin. Course, the higher the RPM, the more clutch wear...<br /><br />JL <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>WildStang</b> <br /><small>Member # 905</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,0,17,17,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thanks! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
