My interpretation of instuctions on another thread are as follows:

1) coasting in neutral / foot not on clutch;

2a) push clutch all the way in;
b) let the clutch out part way (to spin up the motor);
c) then press it back down;

3) shift into the appropriate gear;

4) touch the throttle to bring up the engine speed / to match the transmission speed?

5) then release the clutch.

I presume that re-engage in #5 of instructions means release.

Is this all correct?
