Can stalling damage your car?

[Svetoslav]

Hello guys!
About two months ago I bought a new (used) car with a manual transmission. The car is Mazda 3 2004 with petrol engine (chain) at 90k miles. I have a problem – I often stall the car (once a day, usually). The reason is that the clutch catches very high and it’s very uncomfortable to drive. Also, the engine is very quiet and it is sometimes difficult to feel when is the right time to give some gas. For these two months I stall the car about 30-40 times because I drive a lot in the city.
I can say that I got used to the car’s clutch, although sometimes still happens to me to stall the car 🙁

I’m a bit worried if it can damage the car by stalling. Is there reason to be worried about this? How bad is it to stall a manual transmission car?

I think your biggest worry should be possible damage to the rear bumper.
