It helps because revs are already higher so releasing the clutch won't slow down your wheels (which is the cause of not smooth shifting up). For shifting down this also work and is even more important. If you try, you will quickly feel the right amount of gas to he added.

@@Luis_1605there are some advices I could give you (that I wish someone told me when I was learning. For me it was also a bit different story, because I live in Europe and I haven't driven any autiamtic car yet, so I had to learn manual and driving at all at the same time). So the first thing about moving from a stop is to add a little bit of gas. Even before you start releasing the clutch. Let's say up to something between 1800-1500 rpm (if it's a petrol car. For diesel it can be even lower. The reason for that is that the stall is mainly due to a lack of a power. The engine doesn't have enough force to pull the car. Higher rpms means more power, so it's much easier for the engine and you don't need to be so precise). Hold the gas, and then start slowly releasing the clutch. When you reach the moment the car starts moving, hold the clutch pedal in place. Just for one, maybe two seconds. Then you can release the clutch completely (but not too fast. But it also doesn't need to be really slow. Just keep it smooth and it's gonna be fine. Don't forget to hold the gas pedal pressed a bit for all this time. Maybe I will also shortly explain how does the clutch work in a manual transmission. I think understanding it helps you to drive a car, because you know the reason for actions you perform. So the point of using the clutch is to adjust rotating speeds of engine output and transmission input (to keep it simple, let's just name it engine and wheels for transmission, because it's connected with wheels). So when the car is standing, the rpm of wheels is 0. Because they aren't rotating at all. But an idling engine usually has something between 600 - 800 rpm. So we have a significant difference. And your goal is to get rid of this difference. So you need to make both engine and wheels rotating with the same speeds. If you release the clutch too quickly, rpms of the engine will reduce, and rpms of wheels will increase. Wheels have 0 energy, and engine has a bit. When they get connected, now the same amount of energy now is applied to two components, so they can't rotate as fast as only one of them used to. The problem is, that the engine can't run on lower rpms than it already does. If rpms drop too much, the engine is overloaded and just can't keep working. That's what a stall is. That's where the gas pedal comes with a help. If you rev up your engine, the rpms will go higher. For example up to 2000. Now when you release clutch, you have more energy to be sent to accelerate wheels. So rpms of the engine won't drop to the point when they are too low. Of course, adding a lot of gas is not the way to go. You won't stall the car this way, but you will damage some day your clutch, engine, transmission and other components. And your car will just start like a rocket. But 1800-2500 rpms is the way to go. And why should you hold the clutch pedal "in half" for a moment while moving your car from the stop? Just to give the clutch a time to adjust rotating speeds. The more time you give it, the smoother entire process will be. It's also extremely important to not let rpms go below some values while moving (let's say 1000). If they do, you need to press the clutch in order to disconnect the engine from the transmission. Also if you are moving slowly on the first gear, the best practice is to accelerate a bit, and press the clutch. Hold it, when you slow down too much and want to keep moving, do this like you were moving from a stop. The reason is the 1st gear is extremely low compared to any other, so even small amount of moving speed means a significant difference in revs. And you just don't want to let adjust too much revs in too short amount of time. The clutch pedal basically is used to adjust revs of the engine and revs of wheels. Just look at it that way. You can even experiment with it in some safe place to understand it better and feel the characteristics of your car. Then you will surely know how to do it well. I personally don't have too much experience in driving. I have a license from about a year, have driven for maybe about 3000 - 4000 km (didn't count). So that's not that much. But yet I have absolutely no problem with driving completely smooth. You just need to try and use some techniques. And I also recommend to watch some videos on how a manual transmission works. Knowing it really helps you to figure out what to do just by yourself (just by using logic), without learning any rules. Sometimes your ideas might be wrong, sometimes good. Just try and you will know. But don't give up, you can surely do this. In Europe to get full driving license, everyone have to pass your exam in a manual transmission car. And people do. I'm pretty sure Americans can do the same. :D Good luck with your manual gearbox adventure.
