How can I learn to drive a manual car?
Buy a manual car. Start driving it. That is it. That is the only way to learn to drive stick....just do it. You'll have it figured out in a day or two, and you'll have it down cold in a week. Clutch-shift-gas. That's all there is for your brain to know...all it HAS to know, anyway...the thing is making your hands and feet know it.If the car has a tachometer, you should generally shift between 1/2 and 2/3 of the way to the red line.If the car has no tachometer, shift just a little bit before where the pitch of the engine/exhaust noise levels off.As for starting on hills...get the hang of it on level ground first. It's just like starting on a level surface except that you have to get it into gear and into the power band LIGHTNING QUICK.
