To get it started, just use like 3rd gear, and slowly leave out on the clutch pedal until you feel it grab a lil, then let it out more. It takes some getting used to.

Like I said before, I have no problem with starting mine in 1st, but I don't care about the little bit of "shock" when the car jerks a lil. I use 3rd when there is a "drink-in-hand" situation... no cupholders in my car.
