It is not much different from riding you motorcycle you are just using your feet when letting out the clutch in first on a bike you get that sweet spot ... same thing on a car car is easier than a bike in my opinion. Don't stress it, drive proper before trying to hypermill, there is no one set rpm to shift at each engine has its own area of power I can short shift a chevy v8 at 2000 rpm and get to speed steady or bring it to 3,000 for a much faster run but it all depends if I am driving a 3spd 4spd 5spd or a 6spd transmission and what the gearing is.
A new clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing costs a whole heck more than a tank of gas.
