    Cool. I’d rather NOT have the restriction and I enjoy driving the manual.

    Its funny because my instructor is an old timer in his 70's and has corrected me when I was using my fingers! He doesn't want me using my fingers which Is how I would drive a regular manual.

    The only way to learn to drive a manual is to drive a manual... a lot. You have to be willing to be really bad at it at first. It just takes practice. Everyone is looking for a shortcut. There is techniques, but it’s repetition and desire to not feel and sound like an idiot that wins the day. The only shortcut that I believe actually works is lots of time...and that’s not a short cut. It’s old school is the best school.

    Deleted that quickly? I thought it was easily PG-13 and quiet funny. But I always laugh at my own jokes.

    Edit: never mind. Wrong thread. I retract the aforementioned statement.
