I took my wife and step daughter to dinner last night. It was their first ride in the WRX. I had about 150 mi. on the car. Coming home, I entered the driveway, downshifted and stalled the car. -5 man points. Started and stalled two more times, got pissed, gunned it and got it up the last 15 feet. The smell of clutch was in the air as we walked to the door. I wanted to throw up. I've been driving stick since 1987, for F sake!!!
I went to bed feeling useless.
This evening, my gal wasn't feeling well,and she was craving McD, so I headed out to grab some empty calories.
Stalled it THREE MORE TIMES trying to get up the hill just off our driveway. I sat there smelling my clutch again and pondering the merits of the CVT. It was then I realized that I was trying to launch the car in 3rd gear!!!
What an idiot. At least I know what I was doing wrong. Hope I mesh with the car soon. And that I don't need a new clutch at 10,000 mi.
