Integra type S learning manual

[dagher23q]

Hey guys,
i am planning to buy a type s in a months time, i am gonna learn manual on it. i already know the basics of manual and have driven manual two or three times before, i was just wondering, if/when i was to damage the clutch, how much would it cost me to change it?
also what other parts do i need to put money aside for incase i damage it?

Thanks guys

Get a few driving lesson and then you'll be more confident and experienced for the type s when you get it

A new clutch fitted for the type s is approx. $600 and up,depending if workshop or backyard mechanic

i doubt you would be bad enough to damage the clutch.

first off you should get a few lessons with an instructor. maybe 5hrs or so til you get a good feel for it. then start driving your type s when your a bit more confident

[manonastick]

yeah a few hours with some sort of instructor will help
My parents taught me around 4hrs and the rest was good luck mate on the streets by myself :D
you learn the most by yourself though
have fun man

The Type S was my first car to drive manual in. had my car now for 60k klm and after 6 track days. oem drivetrain still feels quite strong!

the oem clutch will last!

Just take your time learning on quiet roads, and you won't damage your clutch.

You can burn a clutch on a quiet road

You can burn a clutch on a quiet roadYes, but when the roads are quiet, there's no pressure from other drivers. When there's no pressure, you can take your time learning at your own pace, and you'll be less likely to make an error. Feel free to disagree.

take ur time learning

chances of destroying your clutch are minimal as long as you're not developing bad habits like riding the clutch, letting it slip too much, launching frequently, and resting ur foot on it when driving

worst drivers are the ones who come from diving automatic for a few years then decide to give manual a go
ie next door neighbour parents buy him a brand new 2012 wrx sedan to learn on and hes got a steep drive way and i have to listen to him riding the clutch on and off reving it like a mofo every day and he does happy laps up and down my street too show off

[u mad?]

Lmao no way bro its a high perfornance supercar

Nah srs its no dif to any other car. I learnt to drive manual in a dc5r

[pure_na]

as others have said, don't be scared. you have very little if any chance of destroying your clutch.

Depends on who does the work. Most mechanics will set you back $1,000-1,200 in a shop, total.

Some will give you change from a grand.

If you're in Melb I know a guy who'd do it for about $650-850 depending on the price/type of clutch.
