    clutch engagement point question

    Does everyone just let out the clutch at a stop light when they take off, then once its engaged, they apply the gas?
    i might be doing it wrong, i let the clutch out slowly and give it some gas, i let it catch at about 1200 rpm, sometimes higher on hills, and once it catches, i add more gas and let go of the clutch, while adding more gas, it's not bumpy. am i doing it wrong?

    no no no, mines not slipping at all, i mean, i have 2000 miles on my tC right now, i would have to drive it like an idiot to get it to slip...an idiot that has alot of fun.
