you'll get the hang of it soon enough...the first car that I learned on (that I now own) was an srt-4 and I got the hang of it within days and completely comfortable driving it in a couple weeks.[Edited on August 19, 2008 at 10:50 AM. Reason : 2!]

I definitely like the car. My biggest problem of course is getting it into first consistantly (especially on fucking hills, gah)...after I get it moving its easy. Once I get good, oh hell this car will be fun to drive. I just gotta get JSnail to get me another blue line sticker

After today, I think I'm comfortable driving this in traffic.

yeah it doesnt take long. once you can sit still on hills using only the clutch you're pretty much golden.. obviously don't do that for long periods of time though

I learned on a crx years ago, and never drove a manual after that. my bf tried to "reteach" me on his honda- and it didn't go too well at first- it just takes some time to get used to it. but hondas have been easy enough for me to start with

I learned on a 1987 Mazda 626. We went to the closest parking lot and my dad tried to teach me. It took me a few days to figure it out and get good at it. The first time I triped to take off I jstalled the car and almost gave my dad whiplash. The trick is to give it a little gas as you slowly let up on the clutch.

so, after my buddy learned on his corvette we were sitting on a hill and he kept stalling out.. i said "giving it a little more gas"... he says "oh, i was suppose to be giving it gas"..wtf, who the fuck taught him to begin with

Yeah ease off the clutch, ease on the gas. Just get those muscles trained and you'll never forget how to do it.
