Watching my dad and brothers drive. When they would switch gears and use the pedals, I would pretend to be doing the same thing. If you understand the concept, it makes it much easier to apply it. Trying to teach my sister on the other hand.... is a headache. She doesn't know how and why things work the way they do which makes things difficult.

Bought a standard car, drove it home. Read a thing online the night before explaining the basics and went from there. Stalled a million times and almost destroyed the clutch on that ride home.

Dad had a manual E34 so I learned the concept by watching him drive. Then I drove it a few times around the block every once in a while. Man that clutch was stiff!
I mastered it after getting a 1997 GS-R and driving that to school daily for 5 or so years. Honda clutches are SO light - love 'em.
I've been driving automatic SUVs after that, and I miss sporty, manual cars...

I learned through trial and error. Mastered that clutch in two days
The hardest part was finding the friction point and getting used to the feel. Posted via RS Mobile |

Borrowed an ex-girlfriends car when my old car got torched.. found out when I got out to it that it was stick.. taught myself how to drive it in the parking lot, then drove home.
Automatics have their place... just not in my garage!

Learned from my best friend on his Jetta, then purchased a car from Bellevue and drove it up. More or less fine tuned it on the I-5... haha

there is no wax on wax off in driving a stick, you learn just by doing it.
