    HI Chuck, welcome to the forum.

    When you are at nuetral at traffic lights, try a little blip with the throttle, in other words rev up a little bit, then put it into first gear.

    Hope this helps

    Adjust your clutch biting point.

    Shift down through the gears as you slow down and be in 1st before you stop.

    Also, I'd suggest posting an Intro. It's good manners and good 'Netiquette' ;)
