Only way i can really say it is you have to learn how to "caress" the clutch with your left foot.

I have owned the car for a total of 7 Months now, only thing that bothers me still becuase i dont get much practise on is hills. The skill to start slowly up a hill with out jerking foward fast, and then being able to stop smoothly 5 feet after intial movement. I can do it all jerky and jacked up but i want to do it with out rolling or being smooth.

The last thing is, even though I learned how to drive manual, I only know syncro rev. I turn it off and all my shifts are jerky and not smooth. Part of me is saying i should learn with out it, part of me is saying why bother.

You guys who can't drive a manual, go buy a 91 mx5 and practice on that, it'll make you good.

my first manual is my z, i had never driven a stick before and i learned how to drive it in a few days just because i hardly wanted to get out of the car.

I love driving w/ a manual, and can't imagine not driving w/out it. Although the paddle shifters on the Z sound cool. I would like to try it out one day.
