I agree 

Define long period of time?

It’s all subjective

I was under the impression that you should pull both paddles to get into neutral if you’re going to be stopped for a long period of time. Much like a true manual, it’s better to leave your foot off the clutch pedal and leave the stick in the neutral spot, so you’re not putting excessive load on the throw out bearing.

 

As I’m aware, these single clutch F1 boxes are just like a tradition manual (except for the shifting mechanism).

So

I take the phantom to the authorized dealer 

Going to get F-1 fluid changed power steering fluid changed and fix the diff leak

Know them well 

Know most of the techs

Know the service writer real well great guy 

Tell him about the passenger side seat belt retractor from hell

It is locked in the “ never move position all the way back”

He walks up to it with 2 fingers 

Jiggles the belt

And like it’s the Pope himself waving his hand over a crowd

The damn thing releases 

WTF over 

I must have done that same thing 300 times!

It’s all in the wrist as they say

Go figure 

Clyde tip on driving an F-1 car in stop and go traffic 

Stay manual and stay in 1st gear 

Paddling out into neutral at stop only makes things worse for the clutch as far as I am concerned ( remember this is a CLYDISM not gospel, I’ve only got 450 or so miles on the car so far so stay tuned)

They are going to tell me how much clutch I have left with the magic SD-2

Sources tell me even when they put a new clutch in and they throw the SD on it it shows 85% remaining 

DEEEES PEOPLE!!!!!

Anyway hopefully the phantom will be out of the hanger for my trip on Tuesday
