Revs to 3.5k. Will hesitate when you take off, then pretty much goes from there. Still need to feather the throttle, mine still spins in first in the dry and sometimes chirps second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know about that smoothly let out clutch, you'd want to get off it pretty quick otherwise it'll probably just slip and bugger the clutch.As long as your stationary with clutch in the rev hold will most likely engage but I think 1st would be the gear. 2nd is just asking for trouble imo.
