Another question, im getting better at starting first and reverse but reverse even with no foot on the gas it shoots backwards like a bat out of hell.

So heres what i end up doing for reverse.
#1 I end up keeping my left foot sort of pressed on the clutch
#2 I find if i let go of the clutch and press the brake to slow down = stall
#3 i find a clutch+brake combo = sort of slow reverse with out gas even used.
#4 I will either clutch all in + brake to stop or stall out cuz i forgot to put in clutch
Am i doing this wrong for a slow reverse?

For first gear, i end up doing same method,
#1 i let the clutch out slowly till i start to roll
#2 I start to put gas in at this point to assist
#3 i start to give more gas till im moving at a decent pace
#4 at this point i start easeing off the clutch
this seem accurate or am i doing it wrong?
