  • No, you didn’t “kill it”, you gave it what it needs and then released the clutch. Slowly letting go till it bites doesn’t make any sense, especially when going uphill. The clutch can take moving a tiny bit faster, the engine cannot take it moving a lot slower. If you lurch, you gave it a ton of gas, instead of keeping it at like 3k range max.

    Basically, train on a level surface. Push in the clutch fully, break fully. Then let go of break, and push the gas in slightly. Learn how far you need to push it to keep it at 3k or so, depending on your vehicle. Then, the most important part. Gas doesn’t make your vehicle go, the release of the clutch does. Once you figure out that it’s the left leg that makes it “go” instead of the right, you’ll get it every time, uphill or not. It only needs the tiny amount of initial gas to be good.

    None of this "wait till the cars starts rolling and then you have a quarter of a milisecond to add gas before it dies on you.
