Any hints of how to EOC properly?
Let the clutch out rapidly then press it right back in as quickly as possible, DO NOT JUST SLOP IT IN GEAR AND LEAVE THE CLUTCH OUT.

Anyway I release the clutch out then back in as QUICKLY as possible, my car directly after restart is to the floor (on its own, I don't touch the gas), I normally restart in 5th, even if I am only driving 20mph, this results in a violent lurch if I leave the clutch out after restart because the motor wants to race up then back down, in gear it can't do that and is really unhappy.

On my cobalt I can't even measure how many MPH I loose hitting the clutch in and out, its nearly undetectable.
