    the very ghetto rigged way i taught my homie (seriously... if u wanna get good)

    just raise the idle 300-500rpm ... sure you'll burn a little gas... but you'll save that in clutch(learning).

    That way you just ease the clutch up and not even worry about gas. And eventually you slowly turn the idle back down, but you'll get the hang of it by then. Its more of a confidence boost, you know you wont stall on that light at the hill with traffic behind you, or the thought that you'll back into the person who is on your ass (which never happens, when you roll it feels like you roll alot, but its usually not even a foot.)

    orrrrr... when you're in traffic just put it in reverse.... rev to 7k and dump the clutch, it will create a paradoxial net force and your car will inch forward, then you quickly shift to first and go.

    what about the second idea...

    but seriously dude, you need to start double clutching like you should. Double clutching helps when in traffic, it keeps your clutch spinning while the car is stationary. Just slightly hold your brakes down, and then let the clutch up harshly twice really hard (double clutching)

    whats sad is that most people dont even know what double clutching really is or why/what it was used for.

    That's because cars have syncro's now. As for learning on hills, pull up the E-brake (keep your hand on the button) gas + clutch when you feel the car start to pull foward let the E-brake go... Keeps you from rolling into the guy who stopped .324 inches from your rear bumper..

    but doesn't that require a flux capacitor?
