Wink

Dropping = instantaeous engagement of the clutch; as if your foot slipped off.
Feathering = allowing some slight slipping as it engages; letting it up rapidly but linearly.

Sorry, didn't see the earlier explanations.

My car is pretty well broken in at 17500 miles, I did a 7k clutch feather, keeping the RPM's at 6K and above and had no tire hop, excellent burn out, and no shock to the tranny.
Also had DSC off 1 push, didn't do the full 7 secs.
