I learned to drive standard on the Z... probably not the smartest move but also a challenge worth taking! I could do 2 things very well when I started... rocket launch and stall. I can't even rocket launch like I did before... I just can't replicate it. Probably better for the clutch too. My hardest part was getting up the drive way and parking the car in fear of launching through my house! Don't worry you can do it...

Don't bother with playing around the clutch, just push it in, shift, and then release the clutch carefully. If you get a hiccup/bump you know you had a less than perfect shift. If you get a clunk it was terrible. If you hear a grind... well... yea.... try not to do it again?

I still have occasionall shoddy shifting... and it's a lot more difficult, imho, when parts are cold.
