Ok. Let's say when you stop at a light and you're the first car, now that you're starting from 1st, when (at what rpm) do you shift to 2nd?
When I "shift" slowly at 3k in every gear, I often find myself being "pushed" by some a-hole pickup from behind.

Once the clutch is out I gradually increase throttle input. Also, make sure your tires are warmed up for best traction. If you let a CR-V beat you definitely doing something wrong. Why are you shifting out of 1st at 4k anyway? You are trying to beat the CR-V right?
