Don't slip it. YOu might a little bit on take-off, especially on a hill, but with practice, you'll figure out exactly what it takes so the car doesn't roll back much, if at all, even on the steepest of inclines. NEVER use the clutch to keep you from rolling back. That's the QUICKEST way to burn one up.
You know all those nice smooth shifts that todays automatics make? Try to do that with a manual trans, and you'll roast a clutch in short order. Treat the clutch as a switch. It's either on or off. It will make shifts a little harsher, but actually, over time, you'll figure out what it takes to use the clutch as a switch, AND make reasonably smooth shifts.
Any more questions...just ask...we'll answer.
