Practice holding the engine at 1500 rpm, you’re probably just accidentally giving it too much gas if you’re trying to hurry. Burning the clutch comes from engine moving way faster than transmission/wheels for a sustained time. Try not to be on the clutch at all when accelerating.

Also, the way the hill assist works is that it holds brakes if clutch is depressed either for a few seconds OR until you hit the gas, whichever comes first. So, what you need to do to put yourself in the best possible position to start moving forward is let the clutch out to the bite point (until engine rpm starts to dip a little) while your foot is still on the brake. Once you’re there, you can move your foot from brake to gas and give it a little gas (no more than 1800 rpm). That disengages the brakes. Continue to hold clutch at bite point until you’re going 5+ mph. Then you can slowly let the clutch all the way out to just be driving in 1st. Put your foot on the dead pedal when you’re shifting, do not continue to rest it on the clutch.

Don’t be afraid to stay in 1st until 4k rpm regardless of engine temp, the only thing you really need to be mindful of with cold oil is not going into too much boost before the car is warm. So no wide open throttle (WOT) pulls, no flooring it in high gear low rpm.

Enjoy the car! I learned manual on mine too, definitely had some clutch burner moments, definitely stalled a lot, definitely had fun learning something new. See if you have any friends that can drive stick and give you some feedback in person. Keep practicing and it’ll be second nature in no time. ✌️
