After having learnt on a 96 Civic DX and a 04 TSX I found that the clutch on my RX8 is actually very forgiving compared to those two. I've only stalled twice with my RX8 while trying to pull into my garage, but with the Civic and TSX I was stalling or just plain grannying the clutch just to get going. And it is also a bit lighter than the TSX and a heckuva whole lot lighter than the 96 Civic's.

I did notice, though, that the clutch catches later in the 8 than in those Honda gearboxes.

 

You think the clutch is actually lighter? Humm.
