Thanks!

Alright everyone...thanks for all your advice. It was all about timing. The only time this happened was early in the morning, when i'm still half asleep, luckily my office is only 5 blocks away; so i'm not a hassard to the road (thanks for even thinking of that people).

As for some who mentioned if i'm new to the MT world, well yes, i taught myself on the porsche since i was 17 but not an everyday thing, more like every couple of months. Then eventually at 19 i got a MINI MT and taught myself alot more, considering i use it everyday. I'm not a pro, i do have a few flaws because nobody showed me the right way but i think i'm good enough for a 20yr old. I see many kids my age burning clutchs and replacing parts on new or old cars because they're so careless. Thankfully, i'm nowhere near that. Anyway, thanks for the inputs and the advices, if i got to listen to someone, it has to you with the many years of experience.

Giancarlo
