Is it still grinding? If it isn't, its probably OK, but do NOT use your clutch and throttle to hold yourself on a hill unless its only for a split second, use your handbrake and release it as you raise your revs and release your clutch; it should be a similtaneous release. If you use the clutch and throttle to hold youself on a hill, you will burnout your clutch quickly.

Let the person behind you honk, use time enough to get it right and you will save your clutch believe me, and forget about embarassment; get it right!
