cool, thx man. this street i was on is a dead end street, it's why i was trying to do it at this location. when i attempt to try 2nd gear clutch up, i was going around 40mph and i cranked it hard and all it gave back to me is a lil hop off the ground.

A Little Pre Load On The Front Suspension Will Help With Second But Its Better To Start With First Gear First
