I wasn't embarrassed about the stall but the mere fact that I did something so blind.

Hey Devil Z when I got my 350z I had never even touched a manual transmission and I can tell you I caught on in like a week. With tons of practice I'm now excellent at it but yeah take it slow or you'll risk damaging the cars transmission. The 370z has a reworked transmission but its a good car to learn on cuz of the torque, Hondas for example are hard to learn on cuz you gotta rev the suckers so as not to stall but with the 370 learning should be easy. Maybe practice on a friends car lol!

Really?? I drove a RSX Type S the first time I ever used manual, then messed up in a 350Z, but when I really start taking the test to drive stick in the street I will be using a 5.0 Mustang GT. The Clutch will be worse I heard.

Yeah. The clutch on the fox-body mustangs are cable only. So the clutches are REALLY stiff compared to today's hydo-assist clutches.
