How to learn manual transmission?

my dad taught me to drive in his '65 Mustang.

he's put his beer, (yeah the old days), on the dash and say you spill it we go home.

got to take the road test in my mom's Plymouth Belvedere, push button tranny. lol

 

Hell I can't even walk across a room without spilling my coffee!

 

Being able to drive a standard manual transmission is definitely a good skill to have, but it’s also becoming increasingly irrelevant. The company I drive for had mostly manual transmission trucks when I started with them six years ago, now it’s mostly automatic transmissions. Practically all new trucks have automatics.

It isn’t the same.

you can not substitute a video with learning a skill.

 

A little bit of additional advice, you want to learn on a car that can take some abuse

now don’t laugh, but I learned on a pre-1935 ford, model a.

You can still find the transmission for them all over the place and still by new parts for it and the rest of the car

 

Yeah it is only two pages on the manual and I can use the CDL prep app to study. Thank you for your response

 

When I got my permit there were no endorsements than the recruiter told me that I am required to have my tanker endorsement but I will learn other their. I know I can pass the test but I am not in a position to reschedule for a test at DPS when I can take it through the company

 

Yeah I thought about learning on a cheap old beater car
