Just to confuse your newbieness to sticks, there is also a way to shift with out using the clutch. Heres how its done.
1. drive down the street like you normally do and pay attention to your power band and  what rpm your shifting at.
2. Now take another run at it but this time at your shift point give it a little gas and then let off. Now right when you let off shift and then give it gas. Now this does not work well with first so I dont suggest trying it.. Only second and up. Also this is not ment for racing or shifting quick in general. this is ment for everyday driving and will save you from burning out your clutch so you put money elsewhere. Also dont be scared if you grind a couple times, its all about finding the sweet spot.
There is also a way to do this when down shifting but thats for another time.
