    If you pulse the gas it wont take off fast. Plus learn how to drive a stick better that way it wont stall. I do not stall mine going up the driveway nor do i hit the garage door.

    Then find the point where the clutch engages and don't let out to much clutch. And it also sounds like you have a vacuum leak.

    you need one of these to help you with your driving, http://www.gemmy.com/products/largeImage/30655_copy.jpg
    how did you hit a garage door? there are plenty of cars with much harder to operate clutches then the accord,and thier owners don't go through doors. why do you have a stage two clutch anyway? you haven't modified the motor. that seems like a lot of wasted time and money to put in. a stock motor isn't approiate for that kind of clutch.

    Re: i CRASHED the 3gee :(

    I have the OEM Exedy clutch in mine and i have no problems with reverse. Sometimes it wont go into reverse, but if you put it into 1st then reverse it's fine. I cannot see how a clutch will prevent the tranny to go into reverse...

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH WHOEVER PUT THAT CLUTCH IN? if it's a stock transmission and a stock motor and the clutch won't work,something is wrong with the mechanic putting it in. the clutch has nothing to do with reverse, if it's in and adjusted right it should work. I think your mechanic was eithier or
