Just give yourselves some extra room when making a left turn; u don't want to stall in the middle of the intersection in the path of on coming traffic.
Feather the clutch, release it slowly, once u feel the the Jeep starting to move forward. Don't just pump it; that is dropping your foot off the clutch pedal immediately, when the vehicle starts to move forward.
Practice in a large parking lot, like the schools after class hours, when it's pretty empty so u have no obstacle's to run into.
U aren't hurting the tranny, engine, or starter unless u do it a couple of hundred times.
The clutch and the pressure plate are taking all the abuse, like anything, if done in an overwhelming amount of times there is the possibility of some damage
