psh, wait till you decide that a 9.5lb flywheel and stage three ceramic dampened clutch would be a nice addition to the car. there is no slip, the clutch is in or out. lmao thats fun. watching 37 year old men who "have been driving manuals all their life" stall your car numerous times before they can even get it to stay running in first gear. i had that thing mastered in about 5 days. it went through the break in period and would feel different throughout.

honestly, i learn the technics whenever i could before i got the license. then my 1st time driving a stick shift was my brother's friend SC300 back in mid 90's when i was waiting for them to get something from a grocery store, then i bought myself a 5 speed mx3 from 40 miles away and drove home, it was pretty easy to me.

I think it was about 2 or 3 half hour driving lessons with my dad.
I'm still working on heel toe and left foot braking for "spirited driving".

learning the stock was generally pretty easy to me

it took me a week to know how to get rolling from first, i bet i stalled my car and grinded gears 20 times, good thing i sold that car a few months later lol

When i got my 240, I had to drive it home from the dealer without ever driving a stick so it was it a instant, i didnt stall out til day three

I guess it took me 5 years because I went 3 cars without my first stick to this one, and had to 'relearn' =)
