I've been driving manual cars for almost 15 yrs, from stock 80s Hondas to Ford Model As and Ts, 18 speed Freightliners and Kenworths, to race cars of various forms. I stall once in a while. I stalled my moms stock Hyundai Tiburon a couple summers ago, and had a "wtf just happened?" moment. The car didn't even buck or jerk. Just shook a little bit for a second and shut off. They've got a clutch damper valve that prevents any shaking/bucking/jerking.
