I've had the car for probably 2 days now, but have only driven around 2 hours total.

It is my first manual car and I've had some practice in other cars, but I'm having a hard time getting a smooth transition in 1st gear and 1st to 2nd without at least a little jerk. I noticed if i hold the clutch around the biting point for a little longer and release, its smoother, but i feel or hear the clutch spinning when i hold it at that point, is that ok? Or am i doing something wrong?

OR what allot of people of this forum opt for is the RJM Pedal which gets rid of that difficult clutch and makes 1-2 gear shifts smoother. 370Z & G37 AFP Clutch Pedal Assemblies Its very well reviewed and used by allot of members of this forum, you can find a ton of reviews on it if you google "RJM Pedal 370z review" or similar keywords.
