JRMichler, Thanks for sharing this process with the rest of us...
Always, I "bump" my engine in a HIGHER gear than what I would normally be driving at. Doing it this way keeps the vehicle moving at a faster rhythm and less slow down because of the engine compression factor to initially get it going again.

Being smooth gets it to the passengers(unless driver tells them), won't notice!

PS. It is NOT necessary to release the clutch completely when "bumping" engine to re-start, or do the double clutch thing.

Thanks for your post.
I'm adding to what you wrote, should help others understand the process better...
