Gear doesn't go into 2nd easily
Hello everyone. So i have been driving manual for 2 months without issues, but recently i have been noticing that when i shift from 1st to 2nd it doesn't go easily. I tried everything, like shifting at low or high rpm but it still struggles to go into 2nd. What could be the problem?

Reversing on a hill
Hello, I started learning manual a few months ago and I’m doing quite well with driving in general, but I hadn’t done reversing into my driveway which is on hill. That was until yesterday and I burned some clutch.
What are your guys’ tips to NOT burn my clutch? Thank you!

Hill Training Question
Newbie question. Not too many hills in my area. If I were to execute a "start from stop on a steep hill" but on a flat road, would the result be that I just accelerate really quickly? I want to be ready for the steep hill but don't have anywhere to practice.

Floppy shifter
I stopped at a stop sign and when I went to put it into gear my shifter just flopped to 3rd. Any time i attempt to move it to the left or right it only goes up to 3rd and flopping back down to 4th. I was able to slowly release the clutch while pushing it and forcing it to 3rd so that I would be able to pull over to a gas station. Its a 2007 Volkswagon Jetta Wolfsburg what could be the issue?

Slippage Diagnosis
2001 Mazda Miata six speed. Pretty much overnight after 1.5 months of having it started to slip pretty bad.
In first gear when releasing the clutch no matter how I did it it would jitter a lot, same thing with first second 2nd to 3rd. And whenever I was in first second or third and I would rev up the car the RPMs would move but the car wouldn't go along with it as it should. This pretty much happened overnight.
I decided I should swap out the clutch since the car was new to me and knew nothing about the maintenance history. After removing the transmission I saw the following. (Pictures)
Caked up oil in the bell housing. The clutch has plenty of material left and looks fine. I never overheated the clutch while I had it.
The flywheel was smooth and had no grooves or sign of overheating. I decided to change the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, resurface the flywheel, change the input shaft seal, input shaft retainer cover seal, rear main seal, Halfmoon seal, change fluids, etc.
After all this the car drove fine but 100 miles in the clutch master cylinder went out. So I changed the clutch master and slave cylinder and put new fluid. Now the car drives fine but I am curious as to what could have caused the initial slippage. I don't mind having done any of this since it was leaking oil anyway and it was something that I wanted to do anyway just to get it over with.
