well i'm doing some homwork that I absolutely hate to do because it just sucks...so I always put it off.
Anyhoo...my car's a 5-speed...and you know, when you try to smash, 1st-2nd seems to be really hard not to chirp the tires even a little bit, i kinda have to pay attention cuz the car has a heavy flywheel and the rpm's don't drop fast.
what's weird too is i don't chirp that bad unless i try to and ppl say you can chirp 3rd and i've never been able to when i shift but i actually try to shift good. so i think ppl just don't know how to drive or must think chirping makes you faster or some poop

A good driver can make a 5 speed feel as smooth as an auto. Besides...if you do drive smoooth your clutch will be very happy.
I have a 98' 5 speed Maxima with over 100,000 miles on it still with the original clutch. I beat the hell outta it when it was new but decided that i would rather keep the car for as long as I could being that I drive so much.
Be good to your clutch and it will be good to you.

but i'm getting betterI got a '88 Nissan truck with a 4 speed and 255,000 on it. My uncle gave it to me free. I can drive the clutch pretty good now that I have practiced and driven it for a couple weeks. It was kinda rough at first. I only stalled it once or twice though.
