How did you learn manual
Alright, i am almost 17, been driving for about a year and a half (including when i had my permit) on ONLY AUTO's. No one in my family or close friends have manuals. The one time i got to drive stick was 2 times with an '85 subaru station wagon, and i didn't so too well. Anyways, i am looking into cars like a Firebird Formula and with any car with power i want a stick for fun and because the car deserves it. My worry is about messing up the clutch a lot learning on the car i get. How did you learn?

I learned on my wife's (girlfriend at the time) old '89 Nissan Pulsar NX. Now I never want an auto tranny again. .
Just find a friend that has one, and make 'em show you how. :licker: |

I learned on a standard as I learned to drive, when I was 13 in my old '73 Vega

Always have driven them, can't stand auto. Tractors, trucks and cars were all manual when I was a kid.
I just can't live without heel/toe and double clutching

I learned in the car in the picture below. Learning on a car with a turbo isn't always fun.

Back when I was 14 my dad trained me on a Subaru. I dont remember what kind - its been a couple of decades and the beer has killed off that brain cell.

I'd like to thank UPS for my knowledge. While on my breaks and times that I would arrive early to work, I used to race their trucks up and down the West Side Highway.

I learnt to drive on a Lada 2109 (obviously a manual). I didnt think it too hard at the time. Then I drove some better cars and it was heaven compared to the Lada. I dont mind autos, I like both transmissions.

You learn by stalling. Sooner or later you can control that with right amount of foot pressure.
