Go to an empty flat parking lot, slowly let out the clutch until the car moves. Practice over and over, you'll get used to the engagement point that way. I learned this from Rudy(ilivetowin), and I've been slowly getting better (thanks Rudy!). Don't think about it at stop signs and red lights, just drive with confidence. If you stall, it's no big deal. I've had the car for a month now and still have a bit of trouble with downshift rev-matching (non-sport), but you've got SRM to take care of that for you .

Great advice thx out of curiosity, how long did it take you Rui Z and hdskull to learn to drive stick relatively well? Others can chime in too. Btw its a great idea to set the indicator light to help remind you when to shift. I gotta read through the manual and figure out how to do that
