1. Is there a better way to reverse without damaging the clutch?

When I try the no-gas method, already engaged in 1st gear. I slowly let go of the clutch and the car shakes a bit.

2. Is this normal or am I doing it wrong?
for 2. if the car shakes a bit it means you either still released the clutch too fast or too slow

practice more

without applying the gas pedal you should be able to release the clutch and make the car start moving slowly and smoothly without any shakes
