I learned to drive stick on the Z. Very tricky compared to other manuals I've driven since. The transmission isn't exactly super smooth in the lower gears, so having a clutch that has a relatively high engagement point can be frustrating. There's no trick to get around it. You just need to practice and get use to it. It took me a few weeks to shift from 1st to 2nd smoothly in this car....and I still encounter "shift shock" every once in a while.
