or just give more gas.

Find a quiet parking lot and practice letting out the clutch without stalling. Slowly let the clutch out while pressing the gas peddle. It's more about FEEL than knowledge. You'll get the hang of it with practice. Don't worry about damaging anything. One thing you don't want to do is RIDE the clutch - once you let the clutch out keep your foot off the peddle.

That is not a good example about the new bride.

Don't forget to practice backing up with the clutch also.

You know, I hate when people say this, the OP is asking about a MT question and obviously he wants to learn how to drive MT, if you can't answer then don't just tell him to buy AT. I, myself bought my Z in MT and its my first MT car and I love it even though I had some trouble the first few weeks.

Sorry, I have a bad day today

His Z is a 40th anni,they only come in MT.

When I taught my daughter to drive a MT ,she was reluctant,a few weeks ago she posted in her facebook after a friend of hers was wondering if she should try to learn a standard tranny".

"My dad made me go back an forth in forward an reverse in the driveway a 'thousand times' before I was allowed to go on the streets",I think she over exaggerated in bit ,but she said she has never regretted learning a MT ,it opened the ability to buy all the cars on the market,not just the AT.

Keep at it MTs aren't that difficult given enough practice.

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
