To the OP: If you haven't figured out how to manipulate the gearshift and synchronize it with your gas pedal and clutch movements within about the first 50 gearshifts you make the first time that you have driven a manual transmission car and made those hand and foot movements, you are in trouble. It's very easy muscle memory tasks after a few dozen shifts and you shouldn't even be thinking about it. You probably have developed bad habits. Seek professional help.
