I've only been driving a stick for two weeks. But basically, do everything faster. I rev higher and release the clutch a little faster. My thinking is that I'd rather screech my tires a little than pay for the bumper of the guy behind me.
I think what you can also do is pull the e-brake when you're stopped. When you get ready to go, rev the engine, then release the clutch and e-brake simultaneously. That might work.

thanks
CAN I GIVE MORE RPMS IN THE NEUTRAL AND THEN GO TO FIRST GEAR?
WILL THAT DO ANY GOOD????
LIKE I GIVE IT A 2500 RMP AND THE JUST SLOWLY LET OUT CLUTCH AND E BRAKE WILL THAT WORK?

yea, that's what i do on a steep hill, use the ebreak instead of the foot one, it just takes practice, but like ninja said, peeling out a little is better then paying for someone's bodywork. just rev it a little more than usual and use the ebreak instead of the foot break. do everything else the same and you should be fine as long as you don't stall :P. also, don't forget that if you realease the slowly clutch it should start going foward a little, so if the hill isn't too steep u can use this to your advantage so as not to roll back as fast. just be careful with it until you get used to it.

Find an empty hill and practice practice practice, you'll get better at it, everyone does.

Yeah burning your clutch out for fun is the best thing to do

I recomend the e-brake trick, it works really well once you get the hang of it. Clutches burn out eventually, but a good driver will make one last a while. Don't worry about actively practicing, just learn lessons when you mess up while going about your business.

Hills are a pain in the ass.

just let the car in front of you pull up a car length or so before you go, but other than that do everything these guys said, practice on a empty hill or empty parkin lot with a grade.

Most of the times cars will start just by turning the key without giving it gas especially if it's warm or just stalled out on you or you can pump it a couple times before starting, This is what I do, put it in first while you keep your one foot on the brake and the other on the clutch, start the car then releasing them simultaneously and put pressure on your gas pedal with your right foot while letting up on your clutch getting more forward power with your left, its works the same as releasing the clutch and e-brake simultaneously as some older cars don't have an working e-brake. you might get a little "peel out" but it has always worked for me....Once you know your car and with practice it should be a snap....or use the e-brake method if the e-brake still works! I mostly use the e-brake when sitting in traffic going up a long hill where it gets tedious keeping a happy balance between your gas and clutch!...Good Luck...

Whether he practices or not, he's still going to need a new clutch when he's done.

[downshift]

do the e-brake trick that'll be the safest way for you right now. to practise, go to a friends house that has a slope driveway. make sure it's an empty driveway, lol.

i'm so glad my dad never let me drove his car until i know how to hang uphill and parallel park. mind you i was only 14 yrs. old at the time, hehehehe.

Clutch isnt gonna die _that_ fast.
You'll get the hang of it, I rarely use the E-brake to get on my way. I just do it quickly. Learn to find the spot where you'll have the clutch and gas holding the car, granted it will wear the clutch, but it isnt as much as you think it is. I've only had to change one clutch in my life (of all the 4 cars I've owned) and that was most likely because of the previous owner.

Exactally!

You have to be very hard on a clutch for a long time for it to wear out. If you burn one out just from learning then it was either already stuffed, or your doing somthing seroiusly wrong.

I've never worn a clutch out, even my old mirage which had me + over 5 other people learn to drive in it.

[REN69]

I've seen people kill new clutches very fast, maybe it's just the way they drive it OR it could just be the quality of the parts, you never know.

[punter]

Kill as in wear out, or kill as in smash them.

I've smashed a clutch or two, but that was just through being rough with lots of torque/power. (my old mans v8 rally car)
