I agree. Go slowly when engaging the clutch...at least at first!

You'll soon get the hang of the give/take exchange that happens when you take off using a manual tranny.

As far as WHEN to shift, I taught a music major to listen to the pitch of the engine. Her perfect pitch meant that she shifted damn near the same RPM each & every time.
