If I had one I would do it in a second. I have had to teach a few people...when I learned I had already experienced motorcycles so transition was very easy...one hour you'll be fine...

Manual transmission. Need to learn ASAP
- Thread starter dawgm
- Start date
what type of job is it? hopefully not a big truck, you're not going to learn that overnight.
It's easy man, if I can master it at 14, you can in an hour. Once the principal of the thing gets to you it does not take but a second to adapt to any manual. Unless of course, it's an 18 wheeler, then you B in trouble..
It just amazes me that everyone can't drive a stick, of course I'm older than dirt and learned in a 62 Falcon with three on the tree. I'd help but I'm 4 hours from you...
Learned on an old ford ranger myself. The depression on the clutch was about 30000 feet long but damn if there isnt a manual vehicle that I can't drive now....
You just need to go around to the local car dealerships and test drive manual transmissions until you get the hang of it.
Please post the salesman's reaction during the first test drive!

Not an ethical way to do this but you could go test drive some cars/trucks with manual transmissions. Salesman would probably teach you to drive it to make a sale.

i can drive one technically but in no way am i proficient at it
its easy to pick up though, i got the basics down after an hour in the car and a few stalled attempts
