I am just learning manual for the first time after driving auto for 7 years. My left foot actually has to do something now. You say you don't have to push the clutch to the floor to change gears but in the manual it says something like 'depress the clutch fully when changing gears'. At the moment i'm having trouble getting it moving smoothly in 1st gear. After that I can do things reasonable smoothly. Just that the clutch has a lot of travel on it so when I push it to the floor and start letting it out I have trouble doing it smoothly. Any tips for a newbie?
