I put a hurtin' on the Guinness at the pub last night so my reading comprehension isn't 100% right now...
its just like accelerating at a normal light. when you accelerate and the car doesn't jolt back and forth you literally feathered the clutch. now do that but fast while launching the car and applying the adequate throttle needed until you "feel" the car hook then you release the clutch completely and apply throttle accordingly. for the other shifts i fully engage and disengage the clutch.....but as fast and smoothly as possible obviously.
