His last post makes me think he's dumping the clutch a little too hard. To the op: you might want to try letting the clutch out very slowly until you figure out where EXACTLY you have to release it to, to get the engine spinning again. Make sure, also, that when the engine spins up you are dis-engaging the clutch almost immediately to take any excess strain off the engine and allow you time to RPM match and put it in the proper gear for your speed.
