and honestly, you picked a pretty forgiving car to learn stickshift with. the synchro-rev will help you along significantly in the early going. just remember to try and learn without it later on
remember: always start in a nice empty parking lot. get the basics down, then work your way to everyday / normal driving.
...since you're in anaheim, i don't wanna see no wrecked 40th anni. Z somewhere on the 91
good luck, and welcome to the boards!
