Okay, so I just started driving stick in my recently purchased 1999 9-3S. I'm proficient to the point where I don't stall, roll back much on hills, etc. My problem is starting in first. (Yeah, I know you're SUPPOSED to start in 1st!) I just can't seem to start very quickly because when I try to, I stall it. I'd like some advice on how to start a little quicker because I can't seem to teach myself and I can see myself continuing to start like an old lady if I don't get any tips! :) Okay, I've been wordy enough, thanks for the help! BTW-this is my first experience with a 5-speed.
