Don't sweat it. Even experienced manual drivers sometimes need a bit of time to get the feel of a new clutch as they have different release points and may require different rev points for a smooth start.

What you are experiencing is due to letting out the clutch too quickly and not giving it enough revs while releasing the clutch.

It really just comes down to practicing with the feel of the clutch. Ask the dealer to let you take the car around the back of the dealership where there is some room to practice your starts. Once you have it down, hit the street. Good luck...
