It will take some getting used to, but you'll get the hang of it. Here's a hint: it's easier to engage smoother at higher RPMs.

No problem, I'll continue running the GB.

Sweet, i should be able to do my taxes this next week, or the latest the following, and i do Electronic deposit, so as long as i get back as much as i always do it shouldn't be a problem, sure would love to have a new, BETTER clutch in there, would be awesome. thanks!

He's absolutely right. After800miles I shift absolutely perfect everytime. Like 50 of those are in PHX stop and go traffic (no more than 2nd gear for more than 3 consecutive seconds. Ugh...
It's interesting to learn at first, I thought the clutch caught differently at 3000rpms than at 5000rpms, but it's just what Airborne described above. You have to change your driving style/habits sorta.
No biggie..
