You'll get it. My first MT car was a 02 Eclipse. And I tought myself how to drive MT. I never drove MT before but I just show up at the dealer and pickup a MT and drove home on my own! Before that, every time i'm on an AT, i pretend it was MT and practice my food and shifting patern. I showed my wife how to drive MT last week, she was scared and like you did, stall the engine most of the times, but i think she love th Z and want to drive so she will have to learn!!!!...ohh, another thing is you also need to learn how to down shift too...like everyone said, practice and you'll be good before you know it!! Good luck and Congrat on the new Z
