hmm, I been driving auto all my life up until recently bought a 2008 350z fully loaded Manual Trans. Most my friends that live near me drive auto all their life to so no help there. Well, what I did was 2 hrs prior to picking up my car at the dealership. I went on youtube learn how to drive it on there so
. I don't think it really that hard, you may stall your car a few times but you get it. Now i'm driving '09 370z Fully Loaded w/ Nav. just pickup at the dealership wednesday of last week. Good Luck and Happy Manual-ing.
