Not the question you asked, but if you are teaching how to learn a manual, use this tip: Until the clutch 'sweet spot' (engagement point) is recognized, have your student practice moving the car from dead stop without using the throttle.  Once he/she can get away smoothly, then he/she can start feeding throttle and perform clutch pedal commensurately more quickly.


It's not the best technique for wear on the clutch, but overall might teach a student more quickly and may even result in overall less wear on the clutch trying to learn to be smooth.


I've used this technique with a number of clutch newbies and this has never failed me.


Best of luck.
