Omg noob or Civic driver is blowing up in my head with that harmful to press full.
Clutch is meant to be pressed all in. Only times you dont is when you in uphill angle and nervous. In this case you balance car with clutch 1/2 and gas to prevent rollback action.
Youre new so feeling clutch lag is normal. Its issue with not balancing gas and clutch. Try it at 2k rpms and you wont feel lag. also, if you have issue with 2013, get ecu reflashed in case of rpm dip. Turn ac off until you l2drive.. engage clutch to gear in and out. If not, its like rubbing sand paper on clutch to force gear out. This can cause uneven wear and ruin your transmission eventually. But hey, its your car. If you burn clutch itll just be a quick $500 tops fix if you do yourself, or pay the mechanic $2500 if you know nothing of fixing clutches.
Maybe it needs clutch adjustment? I learned smooth shifting by driving from 1-3rd gear barefoot using just my toes. Try it out in safe area.
