Is it bad to slowly let go of clutch?
Feathering the clutch (letting out too slowly) will cause unnecessary wear. What you should do to achieve a smooth shift is time your shift so that you let the clutch out quickly with the engine at the right RPM as it falls. It will be almost seamless and you won’t put any wear on the clutch.
When do you disengage the clutch in a car?
Clutch start step four: When the car is moving at about 15–30 km/hr, disengage the clutch slowly until the engine is turned over by the (now moving) driving wheels and transmission parts that are linked to the flywheel and engine compartment. The engine will burst into life and the problem is solved. You have successfully made a clutch start.

Why does my car idle when I press the clutch?
Not sure if the issue is with gear box itself. Also, do check if there is a clutch switch present near the pedal. Usually when the clutch switch goes bad, this problem occurs, since during deceleration, fuel is cut and this should resume when you press the clutch, or the car isnt decelerating ie idling.
