If you use more rpm but let the clutch out too quickly, you'll just bog down. Lot of good advise from others in practicing without using any gas to get going in an open lot. I took the plunge many years ago and got better over time. Give it a month or two and be patient.

Yeah this is a sad truth is that I just cant go as fast as an automatic or even as close as one at the moment as im still on the learning curve, but I do feel like I get a bit better everyday that I drive.
