haha... interesting... how i was just bout to post the same question... I'm currently driving an automatic... considering getting either an ae86 ... I have these questions concerning driving manual:

1. After I start up the car, and try to switch to 1st Gear, do I have to use brake while I engage the clutch and shift(like an automatic), or just use clutch, shift, then add gas while i release the clutch??

2. Say i'm driving on the road, on 4th, coming to sharp turn, what's the best thing to do? Brake, engage clutch, down shift maybe to 3, then 2, keep clutch engaged until after apex of turn, then add gas and release clutch? Will the car die if i disengage the clutch without adding gas(I know this happens if the car ain't moving, but I'm talking about when its moving)

3. Ok i'm on 2nd, I want to switch to 3rd. I engage clutch, should I release gas while doing this? Then add gas as I'm disengaging the clutch? Will the car die if I don't put in gas as I release clutch?

4. I need to come to a stop. What's the best thing to do? Engage clutch, brake, shift to 1st when the car's stopped?

Thx...
