I don't think I'm riding the clutch- maybe I'm letting it out too slow- or too fast?! I usually rev the engine just a little bit when in neutral and then I shift to 1st gear.

It may be the Clutch Delav Valve (CDV) that is giving you the hesitation.
Also, I was concerned that the "hicups" I was feeling sometimes when i shifted from 1-2 or 2-3 were from either the CDV or just my bad manual driving abilities but my friend was saying when he drove my car that it may be the turbos kicking in. I know this isn't a "Turbo" thread, but it may be beneficial if someone could explain this so people would know what aspects of their driving (smoothness of shifts) is due to their manual driving abilities, and what can be attributed to other factors.
