double clutch on downshifts. only downshift when you need to. brakes are a lot easier to change than a clutch.
ease it in on upshifts.
learn to drive without using the clutch (except starting out in 1st). if you can go all the way up and down through the gears without jerking or graunching (sans clutch) your tranny will love you.
it's all a matter of feel, timing and pitch.
don't practice on a brand new car.
