I recently picked up my long awaited (about nine months of waiting as if i were carrying a baby to term) 6MT 3.0L premium Supra on 8/12/23.
I learned how to drive manual in a mx-5 and drove manual a few more times in a 10th gen Si. I could count all the times ive driven manual on one hand to sum it up. This Supra is my first time really driving manual on a daily basis. The car is at about 510 miles so i'm almost halfway with the break in period.
I can drive it from point A to point B no problem. Getting into 1st is super slow still but a lot smoother of a transition now. I am struggling getting smooth transitions from 1st -> 2nd -> and sometimes into 3rd. I don't know enough to pinpoint what exaclty im doing wrong. I think i come off of the clutch too quickly, but idk.
I've heard there is rev hang in 1st and 2nd but dont know what exactly to do with that information.
i have a good grasp on how a manual transmission works but when it comes to putting it to play i am struggling figuring out when to do what exactly. I dont want my ignorance to f up the car in any way. I just want to drive my car without sweating or anxiety lol Any advice would be greatly appreciated
