1. Do you have sport mode engaged? It helps with the jerkiness going from 1st to 2nd. But like other have said, shifting at higher rpm (~2K) will make the transition between gears smoother.
2. Replace your oem clutch pedal spring with aftermarket. This simple mod greatly helped me to get a better feel of the clutch pedal almost instantly.
3. Find an empty parking lot and spend some time getting comfortable with the engagement point. Put it in 1st and using only your left foot on the clutch, learn to get the car moving and stopping without any throttle inputs. Try not to stall (clutch it to keep from stalling), keep repeating until you get more comfortable with it. If you're stalling, stay calm and keep trying. Don't get frustrated it's a process of learning. We all been there.
