I learned to drive stick on my Camaro, never had a minute behind the wheel of a manual car before I got mine. But I knew an automatic was not even an option. Took me about 6 hours behind the wheel spread over 2 and a half weeks before I finally got my starts smooth, but I'm still stalling it a few times. Don't get discouraged it may get extremely frustrating at first but you just need time and practice. Once I figured it out I couldn't stop smiling. Some of the noises I heard during the first few hours of driving my car I thought something was going to fall out and cause serious damage, there was so much clunking and jerking but you will get the hang of it. If you do go manual try using the no gas method when starting out to find the catch point, have to release the clutch very slowly and the car will start rolling. Just my $.02
