Man I need somebody to teach me! or show me how? I tried asking some ppl but they wont show me they just tell me "it takes practice you will get it" It feels like its dragging..like when i release the clutch and press hard on the gas it takes off slowwwww and then switching into 2nd its rough as crap. Not sure if this is normal

Once you learn how to "float" the clutch you'll have it. I would say start off slow...the burns out will come with pratice. Take to a big empty lot. After about 3 months of playing around when I got my first manual I was able to smoke the tires in reverse and not kill it on steep hills.

Driving a manual can't really be shown...I've tried...it's all about time and learning your clutch and shifting points. If you hit the gears and rpms right you can shift without the clutch...I don't know about the newer trannys if you can do that but yeah it can be done.
