You've really been driving stick for 6 years and you haven't learned rev matching and smooth engagement of clutch and throttle? Is it the car you are having difficulty with or technique in general? Is your clutch blown? Lightweight flywheel and upgrade clutch? These will affect smoothness also.

There's ~1000 rpm drop/rise in rpm when you shift the S. Keep an eye on the tach while you practice your shifting so you are re-engaging the clutch after ~1000 rpm. That's rev matching. When you get the feel, you don't need to look at the tach to be smooth.

 

Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off
know what I'm sayin'
uhh, I reach down between my legs n' ease the seat back

She's runnin', I'm flyin'
Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin', power steerin'
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

 

This thread has made me realize how terrible some of you are at driving... I'm disappointed.

 

PANAMA

 

Can someone explain the reason of pushing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor even after it has fully disengaged? My clutch operates at the top 2" of travel or so. My (short) wife finds it much easier to drive if she doesn't have to put the seat far enough forward to touch the firewall.

 

It's considered good form to ensure that the clutch IS actually being disengaged fully.

The concern I would have about a clutch that is being operated in the top 2" of pedal travel is that it may be adjusted such that the clutch isn't being allowed to engage fully, causing slip and excessive wear.

 

Idk if you heard or not but there is a recall on s2000's. The dumbasses at Honda put a clutch pedal in the car for some reason. Some stupid owners actually use the clutch pedal but it doesn't actually do anything. You aren't supposed to even use the clutch when shifting.

 

And all this time I thought that pedal was for the drivers side brakes and I've been trying to bleed them for weeks hoping to firm the pedal action up.

 

Rut-roh, I better call my local dealer.

Still not sure if there is any benefit to pushing it down 6" longer than it needs to be. The car wont move on the first 6 inches up from the floor. 12k mile car.

 

With smooth driving motions... being easy on the clutch and gas, rev matching, etc. It seems like this is something you should learn by driving your car, not asking on the forums.
