It may sound strange but you should start by driving bare foot, it’s easier to feel where the friction point is.

And you’ll be going faster too since there is less weight.^This.
And drive naked. Need your balls to be making contact with the seat so you can reallyyyyy feel when the car is moving forward.
If you want to use auto rev matching, you need to downshift before the revs drop below 2k, otherwise you'll need to blip the throttle to rev match yourself. I've been learning manual on the CTR as well (got it in November), and so far I've just made a point of keeping the revs above 2k so I can use the auto rev matching.Having some difficulties with a smooth 3 -> 2 downshift, seems like the car won't automatically revmatch when I'm performing this under 2000rpm in 3rd gear. Any tips?
You can't even do a 5000RPM clutch dump on a Type R.Soooo if you haven't got a good handle on what's being suggested... Get a damn manual, even if you don't know how to drive one... And learn!!
OEM Honda clutches can take a bunch of abuse before they fail. I don't mean doing burnouts or 5000rpm clutch dumps, but for regular driving, they can take a lot of clutch riding and stalling and you'll likely never have issues.
And as countless people have mentioned... You won't find an easier car to learn on.
Buy one. Buy one now, dammit!!
I’m the same way, I downshift so much because I’m trying to take advantage of the auto rev match feature.

I've also found that in a pinch, you can double clutch to get auto rev matching even if you let the revs drop below 2k, but for some reason this only works going to 3rd or higher, at least in my experience.
It will auto rev match if you go down two or more gears (with the exception of going into first) regardless of RPM.If you want to use auto rev matching, you need to downshift before the revs drop below 2k, otherwise you'll need to blip the throttle to rev match yourself.
