1. When shifting from 1st to 2nd, do you let the clutch out (and press on gas) pretty quickly (like the whole motion of letting out the clutch takes place in less than a sec i.e. immediately)? Or do you let it out slowly similar to what you do when going from a stop?
2. If you're driving around a parking lot pretty slow in 1st gear. Do you also press the clutch since the car is slowly and tends to shake?

#1 for normal driving i take it gentle. you also want to apply very slight throttle while engaging 2nd so that the flywheel has momentum.
#2 if im driving slow i do that mostly in 2nd gear. i start using 1st but as soon as the car is rolling forward, shift into 2nd.
if i need to creep then depending on the slope or wat not, i do half-clutch (han-kura in japanese) with very minimal throttle in 1st so that i dont heat up the clutch.
hope this helps.
