It should eventually stall out though. Maybe your idle is high.

I think it depends on the car. I've had cars that will "stall out" when just slowly letting up on the clutch and some that will smoothly just pull forward. Different cars may even be set up differently so I don't think anyone can say that it WILL or WON'T.

automatic is the way to go they are so much faster than manuals.

I would never trade my auto for anything.

Why did you switch to a manual?

isnt there a valve [called the aic valve iirc] on the throttle body that opens when you start to come close to 800 rpms? in theory, teh valve being actuated is like stepping on the gas because it is letting more air through the throttle body.

I can do that in my car as well.

Its a matter of not popping the clutch out but rather of letting it out slowly. When you do this it doesn't jerk the car causing it to stall but rather lets it slow roll out and when you finally let the clutch all the way out it keeps going.

Not hard to do at all just gotta know your car is all
