I rev just enough to prevent stalling and bogging.Â* I don't look at the tach and just go by the feel.Â* It's annoying when I "over rev" and have to slip the clutch a bit to get in gear.
I know that on FWD cars, you don't need any accelerator input at all to get in gear.Â* Just slowly release the clutch until it grabs and then the engine will compensate and slowly propel the car forward without touching the gas pedal.Â* This might work for RWD cars too but i doubt it will work with AWD trannys.Â* Of course this isn't practical for street driving, but it was interesting for me to know it's possible to get in first gear without the gas pedal on FWD cars.
