In driving a manual transmission I've read every where you need to release the clutch slowly but from trying it over and over it seems like I can't get it to do a smooth start. I have started to get the habit of releasing the clutch to the friction point and holding there then applying gas to get the car moving then fully releasing the clutch once it feels smooth. This method helps make it less jerky and this method takes around 2-3 seconds. Is this ok to do? Will it harm any thing in the clutch or transmission?
