Rep Power: 0 Launching my Civic
Simple question; what's the best way to get my 2000 Civic LX manual rolling? I can't seem to get it off and going cleanly. A step by step process would be great, if possible.
Here's what I've been doing... revving to around 3k and letting out the clutch, which causes it to buck harshly. Rev any lower and it stalls; rev any higher and i burn out.
Thanks! I appreciate absolutely any help!

Rep Power: 0 This is my daily driver, so it's completely stock.
How would I go about feathering the clutch?
I'm thinking that if I was to rev to about 2500 and feather the clutch I may have a smoother result.
Thanks!
