Manual Transmission Tips

Hey everyone,

Some of you know that I recently upgraded to an Infiniti G37S with a 6 spd manual. This is the first car that I have had with a 6 spd. I have driven manuals before, but only for test drives or driving a friends car. I was wondering if any veteran manual drivers had any tips of suggestions for a newbie. I can drive the car without much hassle, but there area where I am not the best is the initial transfer from clutch to accelerator, from stopping to moving. I tend to either give too much gas without letting of the clutch or I give too little gas. Sometimes I am okay with this, but not as confident as I would like to be. All other aspects of driving a manual I feel comfortable with. It is just the simple stop and go city driving that I need to work on. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
