Default my experience wit stick shift

i ahve only 2 hrs of stick and im getting the hang of it but the ride is still rough. Will it smoothen out? i also found that it was smoother when u shift at low rpms. I only kill the car once in a round trip, yay. how much experience do u think, and how do u get off the line so fast w/o killing the car? maybe its jus experience, plz leave some feedback.

You just have to get use to it. It will smoothen out once you get the hang of it.

push in clutch, move gear to neutral
rev up engine
push in clutch, move into next gear


its pointless for straight line driving.
