Agree with the others that practice makes perfect. If it's any consolation, even with more than 40 years driving stick, I still found the Z's clutch to be finicky, and invariably the car would lurch at times. especially in my case when shifting from 1st to 2nd. My solution: I switched to the RJM clutch pedal assembly, which is much more forgiving than the stock pedal assembly. Others have switched out the clutch helper spring. But neither of these fixes substitute for practice, practice and more practice … especially for a novice manual driver.
