for some reason, whenever i start off, i try to take off at low rpm's cause i heard gassing and clutching kills the clutch, especially on high rpm's? but whenever i gas up to like 1.5, and i let go of clutch, even with my foot still on gas, my rpm DROPS to like .5 rpm and then comes back up...i get so mad...i'm bout to just launch at 2 or 2.5 and call it a day...first gear is my worst gear....
and i can't chirp third to fourth

Until mine completely broke in (1,000 miles) I would launch at 2k and try to slip the clutch. That clutch won't slip so, my first few months w/ the new clutch were interesting. Now I just tap the throttle from idle up to around 1700 and let the clutch out as the throttle is going up. Works out really smooth for me. As far as chirping, I still can get 3rd and ocassionally 4h but I try not to do that so often

what i've seen is that my first gear and second is real easy to get in...3rd and 4th is descent but 5th i have to keep working with it...along with reverse a little....

the RE92s aren't very sticky, so when you try and launch at higher RPMs they'll just spin. Try feathering the clutch at different RPMs to see what works. When you dump the clutch, you'll be more likely to bog it off the line
