Mr Queeba:
Nice, you got a switch! Be sure to get splatoon 2 c:
The Subject:
an easy way to get used to swapping pressure on clutch and gas is to start the car into 2nd gear and keep your foot on the clutch. That way you can get a feel of how much gas to use because the car wont start moving until you apply gas.
switch to doing first gear after because first gear takes less gas to get started. you'll usually put too much gas the first time and that makes the car jump. thats why i suggested to first practice starting in second gear.

or rev to 2.5-3k and shift normally. idk about you but for me (3.0L gas I6) shifting to 2nd from anything less than 2k puts it in a low rpm that lugs the engine; a 1.6 turbo'd gas I4 i drove needed to be revved even higher
guess it depends on the drivetrain, a diesel with more torque than hp or the gearing in a truck would probably allow much lower shift points
