Hi,
I passed my test about 3 years ago, and pretty much stopped driving after that (limited use of my parents' car for a few months, then nothing for a couple of years). Now, I've got my own car, the clutch is VERY heavy, meaning I've had a lot of problems stalling and such when setting off. It's different to other cars that I've driven in that you can't move off just using the clutch, even on a flat road, which I was able to do in my instructor's car.
The thing is, my clutch control was never the best, and I'm finding it especially difficult having to use the accelerator while reversing, doing maneuvers etc. I've got better at moving off with the intention of driving away, my problem is with keeping the car at a slow pace using clutch control.
For example, today I was trying to reverse to park in front of my house, as there was another car parked in front of my neighbour's house so I had to drive past my house and reverse in front of the other car. I obviously wanted to reverse quite slowly so I didn't crash straight into their car haha, but I got the 'you're-about-to-stall' juddering while reversing. I thought I had enough revs and I was moving very slowly - was I lifting the clutch too much? I don't really understand what causes that judder and what to do to stop it apart from just pressing the clutch down all the way and starting again. Any tips on this, and on clutch control in general, would be great, especially anything your instructor might have told you that made things "click"!
Cheers.
