hey guys, im not sure if this is the place to post this or not, but where can i find a place or find someone to teach me how to drive a manual transmission car, cuz i might buy this car at the end of the month so i want to learn how to drive it first before i get so i don't burn up the clutch or tranny, thanks

 

Teach yourself, it's easy (for the most part). I taught myself the day I got my car . I had an automatic, wanted a manual, traded for a manual and had to teach myself.

 

i can if you promise to listen and not fuck up my clutch, but if it gets too much on the car i'll cut it short, i will ONLY do this if your very serious about this and i will not take you driving, i'll teach you how to get started and the basics of driving in traffic with a manual transmission, its up in the air as to when this will happen though, i work too much

 

im a fast learner, i can catch on quick, i just need to learn the basics like getting out of first gear, and what not to do, and how to downshift properly

 

its really not that hard, u just had to learn how to work the clutch n things like that

 

easy, don't

you don't need to do a 60 MPH downshift into second and bring it up to like 6000 or whatever, all you need to do is slow down and go down a gear, you can't teach rev-matching, it comes with experience with the car

 

ok, i just say your hopeful car, you may want to lay off the clutch kicks and shift-locks until you learn how to handle the car

 

im sure it is, cuz i've watched a lot of instructional videos on how to but i never had a 5spd car to practice it on, and i barely have any friends that have manual trans car

 

if you have watched videos and whatnot then you should have the idea down fairly well and should have no problem

 

yea, i got the concept of it, i just need to learn how to do it and get used to it and get the hang of it, cuz i was living in cali and they had a corvette driving school and i was gonna learn how to drive over there, but i didn't have time cuz i moved over here
