congrats buddy! remember, easy, when you let go of the clutch keep the same constant gas acceleration and slowing back your foot of the clutch. just ease of the clutch and you'll be fine.

Easy is the name of the game with the clutch. Even after the car starts moving, KEEP easing it out. The #1 mistake people make is taking their foot the rest of the way off once the car starts to creep forward.

Be glad you're learning on stock stuff, my GF had to learn on a rather sticky Spec 3 and a 230+ cam.

I actually learned to drive one in a '77 CJ-5 Jeep. I put it in 4wd, low-range. You could start in 3rd (3 speed) with no gas applied and it would just take off.
