Need advice on learning manual

>>14002247
Well, when i was 18 i bought a Miata for $1k as a car to learn stick on... I don't see why you couldn't do the same it's a good car to learn on.

Its all in the pedals

You can learn manual in a good car, no problem. Worst case scenario you burn up the clutch, but you'd have to be full retarded to do that. Your gearbox will be totally fine.

gee i havent seen this thread before

>Please help me /o your my only hope
your fucked cunt

>Clutch disconnects engine from wheels
>Press it when shifting/starting from a stop

That's all you need to know. I have no idea how people are struggling with such a simple concept. It was hard the first 3 minutes then it was pretty much natural.

then hide it faggot

learning manual doesnt take long. and certainly not long enough to ruin your gearbox. unless if you grind rather than pulling out you push harder like an idiot

What they said.

This right here. Took me about that long and I ended up driving home and only stalled it once. Never stalled since

It's not rocket surgery

>>14002247
>but insist that i spend money on a throw away car to learn on first
Isn't that the point of learning manual on a miata? Unless your parents think that the Miata means something as sportsy as a ferrari you will be fine.

I had my first driving lesson today. I had to drive a manual. It didn't go so well, i had a hard time working the clutch and stuff while also trying not to panic because i had to drive in the city.

>clutch disconnects engine from the wheels
implying the engine is ever connected to the wheels

He's not technically wrong, there's just more to the car than engine and wheels.
