Accelerating before clutch fully up
Discussion
Since changing car I have noticed if I shift into 3rd gear for example then lift the clutch up fully ( even slowly ) before accelerating I get a slight jolty movement.
The only way I can counter-act this is by accelerating just before the clutch is fully up, so say about 85% of the way up
Is this bad practice or not ?
I notice some slight vibration in my clutch pedal but that may have always been like that. ( Car has done 22,000 miles )
Thanks

Sounds like it's caused by the clutch delay valve - hateful things!
Yeah basically if I shift up and then lift the clutch too quickly it will jolt a bit, me old Toyota never did this.As said the only way to counteract this is by lifting the clutch up really slowly, or accelerate just before the clutch is fully up ( is this what "rev-matching" is ) ?
