Depends on the car.

But what I've found especially useful with low-powered cars was the clutch kick technique. I've used it in the Miata and also the RX8 - both cars not too known for their extreme power level lol.

I have only tried the clutch kit. It works, but just like everything else....practice practice practice. My clutch is still good.
