From any gear to Neutral clutchless

Tapping... in my clutch...

If I rest my foot on the clutch (not to engage/disengage it or anything), but just rest it on there... I feel a clicking/tapping noise... in the pedal.. that I've never felt before... any ideas? is this a bad thing?

It's a real brand not from autozone. I ordered it online, and I didn't strip the threads, so its possible it might be to long.. I'm going to try unscrewing the bottom cap and try screwing it in and seeing how that goes... I've also heard of people cutting out the little plastic donut thing and screw...

It came with the 3 sizes of rubber so it can fit any car.. my car uses the 12, the 10 was to tight and the 8 was just w...

Driving with no shoes to feel the point!

Well I took a friends advice.. Drove around the block a few times with no shoes on (just my socks) and well he was right, its a great way to learn the feel of the friction point and such, has anyone else tried this? I've heard of other people doing it to get the feel of the pedals.

Simple question.

Ok well some guy pulled up next to me and it was at a red light and he was like flooring his car and shifting yet the car didn't move... and you could hear the shifts and rev's, etc.. my only thoughts are that he pulled up the emergency break and just drove it in place? I'm just wondering how he did...

Today I stalled once.... first time in about a week...

I can drive 100% of the time without stalling, only time I stall is if I am being stupid and forget to do something.. I can do hills normally with a slight roll back (I still haven't learned the emergency break method). Basically I can drive but I'm not the smoothest shifter yet ;).. maybe 6 out of ...
