Thanks! I have watched a few videos on the concept of driving manual and read about it. I Drove for the first time yesterday and was able to go in reverse, stopped, then go on 1st and pull off without any issues. I did stall about 2-3 times because everything I learned got kinda fuzzy once I started driving and the sweat started going from my nerves. To my defense though, the times I stalled were due to un flat surface as the car started rolling back/forward I panic'd and pressed the gas harder and released the clutch early.
My intentions were to honestly just go buy the car and learn on the spot. I'm not sure how much wear would go on the clutch from learning stop and go just ridding on the clutch on 1st w/o giving it gas. In the tutorials I found that is the way they recommend you learn, do that about 30 times then once you get comfortable with the bite and release point learn to give it gas after. I had difficulty learning how hard to push in the clutch since my friend who's car I used to practice told me it was a light clutch but that it was also kinda worned so it threw my timing off a bit. Besides that I didn't feel comfortable moving the gears around, I thought it would be a lot softer but now it makes sense when I watch videos and dudes look like the push the **** out of it lol. I went to Subaru today and got to feel the clutch and shifting on a idle WRX and it felt about the same as i used in my friends car. Next time I will spend more time pushing the gears around before actual driving.
