CJ, Here is a technique that I use when starting on a hill. I’m not saying it’s the best or even the right way. It just works for me.

Begin with your feet on the clutch & brakes completely depressed. Put the car in 1st and “very slowing” lift your left foot from the clutch. You are going to get to a point where you “feel” the car wants to move forward but can’t because your right foot is still on the brakes. (Hint) The RPM dips a little.

Stop lifting your left foot at that point and hold it in that position. Take your right foot off the brakes. The car will not roll backwards. (Your left foot has partially engaged the clutch preventing the car from rolling back). Now you can give it some gas and slowly release the clutch.

Practice on a small incline before trying it on a major hill. Let me know if it works for you. Good luck.
