My friend's Answer:



Riding the Clutch
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riding_the_clutch
Correct me if i'm wrong....
a) Riding the clutch = bad
b) Dropping the clutch (such as on a quick launch = bad

Questions (assuming the above statements are true)
a) So is feathering the clutch bad also? Or is that the "ideal" way to go? I find that the only way to shift smoothly is to feather just about every shift in gears a lot (except maybe the higher gears)
b) Dropping the clutch is bad on the ____________.
c) Riding the cluch is bad on the ____________.

And if i'm completely off here, someone feel free to me.
