As you ease up on the clutch you need to slowly give it gas at the same time. Not enough gas or easing up too quickly on the clutch will cause the car to lurch forward and/or stall.

Don't let the clutch out with the engine idling. Slightly increase the engine RPM as you let the clutch out. This is normal.
IF the clutch is grabbing even tho you try to let it out slowly, there may be a problem with the clutch its self. The throw out bearing OR the linkage could be sticking and suddenly releasing when you let off the pedal. You could have some oil on the clutch or pressure plate. The clutch could be going bad.
Try increasing the engine RPM FIRST before getting too excited with the other possibilities. Good luck. Pops

Sounds like your clutch is either: a) going out and has the tendency to grab at a particular point in the clutch release, or, b) you have a warped clutch plate that likewise is grabbing rather than softly engaging. Either way, you probably need to have a mechanic evaluate and probably replace the clutch pressure plate, disc and throw-out bearing. Make sure your flywheel surface is machined. Now here is another thought...does your clutch have a cable system or a hydraulic system. That may be the culprit. Have a mechanic evaluate it!

my buddy bought a '67 beetle that did that and we drove it around the farm for a week or so , we both are good with standards , and the "ugly spots " on the clutch wore themselves off and the car stopped doing it , the clutch lasted another 30,000 miles, so check the adjustment and give it a bit more gas as you let out the clutch , good luck

you dont know how to drive a standard and need to go drive around and practice easing the clutch out at the right time with the right amount of gas

When you have a lawnmower engine like that car does, it takes some reving and slow clutch to get going.

Does the car idle correctly with the choke off?
