Cluth bite is about 1/3 up from the floor of the full travel of the pedal and is the same in every gear. To find the bite point, with hand/emergency brake on, depress the pedal fully, put the vehicle in gear and set the gas to about 1000 - 1100 rpm. Raise the clutch pedal until the bonnet/hood (forward gear) starts to rise and the revs start to dip. That is the bite point.
Alternatively, go to FLAT area and RELEASE all brakes (hand/e-brake and foot brake) and make sure your car does not roll. Depress the clutch petal all the way and put it into first gear. SLOWLY start to raise the clutch off the floor (do this very very slowly). and once it starts to roll, that is your biting point. You should do it a couple times just to make sure.

When parked downhill and need to reverse uphill when you put in reverse the car rolls forwards is this right or is something not right?
Assuming you're driving a car with a manual gearbox, a reverse hill start is fairly straight-forward. To Start with, you need to have your handbrake fully on, this will stop the car from rolling. With your clutch pedal pushed fully down, select reverse, then gradually bring your clutch pedal up towards the biting point. Once you find this, your car will try to move. At this point take your hand brake off, and you'll start moving up the hill. Simples
What are the key steps involved in driving a manual transmission car, and how can one master them effectively?
Mastering the operation of a manual transmission car involves several key steps: Familiarize yourself with the clutch: Understand how the clutch pedal engages and disengages the engine from the transmission. Practice smoothly pressing and releasing the clutch to transition between gears. Learn the gear layout: Become familiar with the gear pattern of the car, typically arranged in an H-pattern. Understand the position of each gear and practice shifting gears smoothly. Start the car in neutral: Ensure the gear stick is in the neutral position before starting the engine. Depress the clutch pedal, start the engine, and gradually release the clutch to prevent stalling. Start moving in first gear: With the clutch pedal depressed, shift into first gear. Gradually release the clutch while gently applying the throttle to begin moving. Find the biting point where the engine engages smoothly with the transmission. Shift gears smoothly: To upshift, lift off the throttle, depress the clutch pedal, and move the gear stick to the next higher gear. Release the clutch while gradually applying throttle. Downshifting follows a similar process but involves shifting to a lower gear. Practice hill starts: Mastering hill starts requires precise clutch control. Use the handbrake to prevent rolling backward, find the biting point, and smoothly release the clutch while applying throttle to move forward. Practice, practice, practice: Consistent practice is essential for mastering the operation of a manual transmission car. Start in an empty parking lot or quiet street to gain confidence before tackling busier roads.

If after checking the levels and bleeding you still have problems, then it could be a release bearing problem ..
