No idea what you just said. You should probably work on speaking proper English instead of worrying about whatever it is you just typed in your made-up language.

HERE. do this. You know that point where the clutch meets the "engine" and the car jerks forward or bogs down? Make that engagement point much much slower so you can learn how it feels as it engages. The clutch is not an on/off thing. The way youre practicing now (yes we know), you'll never learn and probably use up a lot of clutch disc.

i actually dont know where or how deep the sound is coming from but i do feel a click when im moving the shiftknob into gear.
as for the moving question, sometimes its smooth ( i dont feel the click) but i still hear a faint sound as it gets in completely, other times it is knotchy even when i shift in motion i.e from 1st to second second to third usually after third its not noticeable or its not there anymore.

but building on that, i find it a bit unsettling how people no longer teach how to drive stick well. sorry, grammatically thats correct but i mean that people no longer teach well how to drive stick.
find an empty parking lot. put the car in gear and DO NOT use your right foot. ever. (not til you're familiar with the clutch). clutch in, then slowly bring out the clutch til you feel a drop in engine rpms. you'll feel the clutch slipping and the car moving forward slowly. keep feathering the clutch (clutch in and out partially to speed/slow the car), then take it out of gear and brake. rinse and repeat until you can get to that catch point via muscle memory.
