Thank you for the tip. Anyway I am also wondering why people here are so much interested in looking for a girl?.Hehe. Kidding.people just add me on facebook espe_log*yahoo.com

The only SMS-shortcuts I found were 3 or more instances of "ung". "Yung" might have been forgiveable as the proper shortcut of "Iyung/Iyong".

I've noticed with diesel-clutches (my sources: '96 pajero, '00 hiace) is that they are very very very hard to stall.

Even if you let go of the clutch (relatively) quickly with minimal pressure on the accelerator, the car barely shudders.

If you try this on a vehicle with a gas engine though, usually mamamatayan ka. Try keeping RPMs at ~1.5k while releasing the clutch pedal slowly.

Grabe naman yung instructor, hindi ba dapat kumbaga sanay na sila dapat na namamatayan mga students nila, natural kaya nga driving school eh, siyempre nage-enroll para matuto..

Anyways, sanayan lang po talaga yan..I remember noong nag-aaral pa lang ako dati, yung pinag practice-an ko yung old civic EG namin sobrang tigas ng clutch yung tipong pwede ka nang mag workout ng legs mo, pagdating naman sa vios sobrang lambot halos di ko maramdaman kung dapat ko na bang pakawalan..hehe, pakiramdaman niyo na lang po muna, madali na lang kayong makakapag-adjust

Actually mga Mam/Sir me 3 approach sa pag launch ng sasakyan mapa gas o diesel. Pede walang gas (soft), a little (medium) or high rev (hard) at me kani-kaniyang applications ito.

Eto ang isa sa mahirap sa pag drive. There are many way to do things. Alamin mo nga lang un ways na nakakasama.

Very well said sir!

Soft - Moving downwards
Medium - Straight road/Slightly inclined roads.
Hard - Inclined road (pataas) or Straight road with heavy loads.

For the TS, tip ko sa iyo, basta matapos na yung "biting point" sa pagtimpla ng clutch, pwede mo na itong i-release. Pero ang masasabi ko sa iyo, for an experienced driver, kahit mapa-diesel or mapa-gas pa ang i-drive mo, kaya mo itong patakbuhin ng maayos. Experience lang talaga ang kailangan hehe.

Try driving my small car, .8l lang ito, talagang kailangan experienced sa M/T ang driver nito hehe compared sa 2.0l ride ko na kahit not well experienced hindi gaanong problem ang timplahan.

yup, with diesel-clutches very hard to stall talaga.

what i normally do especially pagbago ko lang mahahawakan yung car, whether diesel or gas.. apak ko pa kunti than normal yung gas pedal, habang pinapakiramdaman ko. wag ka mahiya diinan, makukuha mo din katagalan.

i believe that's because the diesel vehicles have higher torque than the petrol-fed cars that you have driven. as a matter of fact, you won't even need to step on the accelerator, just release the clutch slowly and it will start to move. done that in our 05 Trekker on the ramp in our garage. i just released the clutch and it just keeps on moving forward.
