    i seem to have a problem when i am in first gear and need to creep forward i cannot do this, it seems to jump forward quickly no matter how slow i push the pedal down.. i have to press the pedal down a bit before the car moves and it just jumps forward.. any ideas?

    also i think the clutch has started slipping as i can feel it.. but this is weird as verdi told me it has 75% clutch life left?

    also to add, i raced my mates manual 360 and everytime i changed gears he had left it, it seems to be delayed when changing into the 2nd but then the faster i go it seemed to be ok?

    any common issues here that you guys are aware of?

    Thanks

    Moving off with an F1 is not always as smooth as with an old style clutch but can be improved with practise & a perfect set-up

    I though your car has just been checked out by both Verdi & DK ?

    also, on your F1 system, the rate at which your clutch engages is adjustable by the dealer. Stop by and complain about it, they can adjust this for you.
