Do not "pop" the clutch, but rather side step as if you were taking off from a stop...no more wear ad tear than shifting into another gear. The higher the gear selected the smoother the transition. If I am as low as 5 mph I use third. The vehicle you use will determine the best method, but try 4th or 5th first. When I do it my back seat passengers do not even know what I have done.
