I do this too. The clutch is very grabby on this car, but at least this technique works to smooth out shifts. I also do this in 1st from a stop.

That's really odd. My clutch is super light. When I first got this car, I nearly put my foot through the floorboard.
About the engagement point, you can lower that, which helps a lot. Mine engages about halfway off the ground now, which is perfect for me.
