To learn how to drive a "Standard" Trans vehicle is very easy. Have someone that drives one drive you out to a very large (ie. A flat High School lot) parking lot. If this is done on a Sunday afternoon, usually it will be safe to do a lot of stalling and neck jerking etc. Most people try to drive the car right off the bat. Wrong thing to do. What needs to be done first is learning how to let the clutch out and get car moving. (don't give it any gas. do this at idle) Once that has been mastered then you can move on to giving the car gas, shifting and driving. But as I just said "learning to smoothly let the clutch out" is paramount to anything else.
