Here's how it works (archive)

You put it into 1st. Not like an automatic, it stands still without applying the brake. Just like a manual in a gear with the clutch pressed down.
You then just go on the accelerator. As the throttle opens it automaticly releases the clutch and it does so perfectly. You can start rolling very gently like an automatic when you let of the break or, if you really step on it, it takes off with a slight but controlled wheel spin.

Then if you wanna shift you just quickly pull on the stick and the computer takes back the throttle , disengages the clutch, shifts and engages the clutch again. You can basically rest with your foot on the accelerator, however it makes the shifts smoother once you've gotten used to it, if you just let go of the accelerator a little bit.

From the moment you touch the stick till you're in the next gear with the clutch engaged, it is said to take 0,4 seconds.
