Hah yeah.. i have 10k miles on my Z, have driven manuals all my life. And if I ride my R1 for a week or so, i start having sketchy shifts in the Z. Its not the easiest of clutches to work. In fact its one of the most difficult i have come across to operate smoothly. My father, brother, best friends all drive sports cars. And not a single one was able to just jump in and drive smoothly. All I'm saying is don't feel to bad about having a hard time! and enjoy your new car

I'm still not very smooth with the transmission (I tend to release the clutch too fast) cuz I'm always worried about riding/burning the clutch. Hopefully by the time I hit 10,000 miles I'll be smooth as a baby's butt. Just don't get discouraged. I am having a blast now and am totally glad I opted for a manual transmission. Good luck!!
