eoc on manual shouldn't be an issue at all.

When i am coasting and i want to start back up i pretty much always use 5th. I quickly lift my foot about 1/3 of the way off the clutch and then i push it back in again. Always works when the engine is warm. Even if i should be in 5th i will push it back in again, then i will match revs to where i should be before letting the clutch back out. This totally minimizes and RPM differences and wear. If you can feel the car jolting, you are lifting the clutch too far up to start it.
