OK, you do not apply the throttle before you release the clutch. That is just beating up the equipment. You appropriately increase the revs as the clutch begins to engage. As soon as you feel the clutch bite, you slightly increase throttle. Try that.

More throttle, yes. If the engine rises above where it was at you might be applying too much throttle or you are too slow with the clutch. As DH said above, you should be able (on level ground) to release the clutch without adding throttle. I think it is about impossible to teach someone to...

2000 rpm is way too high for starting out. 2000 rpm will burn a clutch or spin wheels. The idea of applying the throttle as you release the clutch is not to race the engine (leave that to the drag racers), but to MAINTAIN the rpm the engine was at (probably between 800 and 1000) before you...

These trucks are tough and are designed to function under extreme conditions in combat and/or driven roughly by 18 year old recruits. You probably have not yet done any damage. That said, you should be able to engage the clutch and shift s-m-o-o-t-h-l-y. This does not mean an extended amount...
