1. Use reverse as little as possible and never over long distances.
2. From a stop you want to start with firm pressure on the gas pedal to get the gear fully engaged smoothly but efficiently.
3. Put car into neutral and roll up to stop signs, stop lights, stopped traffic instead of letting the car downshift for you.
4. Don't downshift if you can help it.
5. Let off gas for a moment when you pull the upshift paddle, get back on when the gear is engaged.
6. Don't use the Auto function.
7. Don't use Sport mode.
8. Keep transmission in neutral when sitting still (saves throwout baring).
9. And the biggest saver of clutch ever: Don't change gears!
