When you clutch in while releasing the throttle and putting in 2nd gear, make sure your right foot maintain contact with the accelerator with a tiny bit of pressure. That way when you throttle in, while you clutch out there will be less time in between and Voilą!

Also make sure you ease into the first part of the throttle, then press farther. Don't mash it in.

Hope I am being clear.
