ShadowImg Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 That's what I'm asking for though -- what techniques? I've not had much luck finding it, only a few people who agree that it is a common problem. I've read a lot of the threads over on NASIOC/IWSTI on the topic. Certainly someone out there has a more academic view on the subject. I've definitely tried quite a few things, which is why I know there are 2 ways I can avoid it -- 1 is roll reaaal slow (like stop/go traffic slow) and go into 2nd at like 2-3mph. The other is just WOT launching the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Try releasing the clutch slower, popping the clutch will tend to cause those issues. So, for the next few drives, try riding the clutch a little more before releasing it all the way. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I do it a once or twice a month. Try to baby a Stg 2+ clutch and LWFW and it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is just WOT launching the car. As was already said. Release the clutch slower and also watch how you modulate the throttle. If you let out the clutch too quick and then immediately give it some good dose of gas, there is a good chance that the car will rock back and forth. back on topic. I stall about once a month, typically when I am in parking lot distracted by something. The car has an aftermarket clutch that doesn't like to modulate much. It's either on or off.

maniaxzero Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 haha I cant remember the last time I stalled but it always catches me off guard when I do. Although I'm constantly reminded by my passengers that when I drive stick, they all become bobbleheads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What really kills me is switching between I/S/S# -- you'd think it wouldn't make a huge difference, until you need to make a left turn through an intersection quickly. Oops, still in I mode. I used to drive in I mode all the time until I tried driving in S for a while and saw no difference in fuel consumption. Car stays in S mode most of the time now.

jbrown Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Everytime I get too comfortable I will try and roll the car without gas and stall. Would a tune help with hesitation, not trynna change subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbitris Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I've only had the car for a few weeks, and I've stalled it 3-4 times, once on a hill infront of an ass that laid on the horn until I got started again and moved enough he could fly around me through the intersection. Very embarassing. JBrown: I don't know how much a tune would help. I had mine on the dyno for a custom tune the week after I bought it and I'm still trying to adjust to the lack of torque under 3k rpm's ESPECIALLY compared to the excessive torque over 3k rpm's. I have to give twice as much throttle off the line, and then ease way off before I start to spooll at 2500rpm's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHellrais3R Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 hd clutch and lwfw makes for a VERY touchy clutch and hard to learn at first. I stall here and there sometimes but mostly on steep hills if I have to stop at a light. Maybe every few months I'll stall it once. When it engages after letting it out about a 1/2", general bumper to bumper traffic and stop lights on hills in traffic can be difficult and definitely annoying. I'm SO glad I never went with a LW pulley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Two weeks ago, saw a gorgeous girl with an incredible body jogging on the sidewalk. Tried to move off from the light while I was distracted and embarrassed myself. This^ Except... I was IN FIRST GEAR stopped at a light and let the clutch out. POOF! Lurched car against the brakes and stalled as she crosses the crosswalk in front of the car. Talk about premature e... WOOF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amp0412 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 This past weekend right after I had jump started the car, stalled in the right lane of a six lane divided highway. Couldn't turn the car back on because the battery was still dead. Before that I can't remember the last time that I stalled especially in traffic.

scoobyroo Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 About 2 weeks ago, new clutch had just gone in three days prior.. Being in a hurry to get to work + slight hill + new clutch = (in that order) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp0412 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 And tonight I'm driving my buddies sti with a brand new 6 puck and extreme pressure plate in it so I should probably just add a preemptive stall to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liberalswine Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Cwap...I ruined my streak as of yesterday. Was driving to meet up with friends and stalled at a light. But I've had this car for 3 days now and getting used to this clutch. My old wrx felt a lot different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShatzGT2 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 About a month ago leaving the gas station - in front of about 10 people of course...that said I'm glad I'm not the only one that had a terrible time learning to drive the LGT...is it the AWD and drive by wire that causes it the difficulty? (before i was Infamous tuned the pedal was never consistent from a stop, used to stall out quite a bit) I'd consider myself a pro at driving a standard until I stepped into my LGT a few years ago - any friends that attempt to drive have a hard time as well.

Nope, not for me. I can drive new-to-me WRX's and STi's with no problem after a few minutes. The 5th gen LGT is tricksy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
