tranny creep

got my passion 2-14-08,got just over 400 miles on it now.still learning the trans.in stop and creep traffic where trans is not allowed to fully engage,ive discovered that by pulling up the emergency brake lever by one click in traffic it stops the trans from trying to engage which means i can creep then free wheel roll using the e-brake thereby saving engagement attempts by the trans.otherwise theres drag on clutch when u go to slow.i also have a lazy foot and dont like to hold down on brake when stopped,again,i use e-brake lever.this definitely is a different "animal" than driving my suv,u feel and hear every bump in the road,it pauses in between gears,but i wouldnt give this car up for any price[well,maybe if price was right]but seriously its fun to drive and gets attention EVERYWHERE i go!

Interesting - I have been shifting in and out of Neutral to accomplish the same effect.
