From what I observe, it is also by feel. They hold down the car with all 4 wheels on the ground with both hands and rev the throttle with the thumb / finger on the other hand.

They will feel how hard the clutch engages when they give throttle. It should not be so sudden or too quick. Just enough RPM before the clutch engages. By this method, they know if the clutch is slipping upon engagement.

If the clutch is too soft, they will stop the engine and proceed to tighten the clutch and do the same thing all over again...

Well, when you arrive in Florida, check with Rene or Michael and ask them to do it for you. They do it pretty effortlessly.


Did you see Rene there? He's not been around for a while - maybe he's on holiday.
