 It is possible. It just takes practice and a little patience during the shift maneuver

The RJM clutch pedal upgrade is also a big help. That said, even when stock I had no problems with shifting. I think the reason is that I know how to drive a manual transmission-equipped car. My wife drives a 6MT Juke also -- just for reference.

 Best mod available under $300. Tremendous improvement. And I had no troubles with the stock clutch either.Quote:
and for additional reference, we originally purchased the Z for my wife as her daily driver. We got her an AT when she changed jobs and her daily commute went from 15 min of open road to 45 min of snarling traffic all the way across town. She rarely drives the Z now, but when she does it just takes a few 1-2 shifts before she's back in the groove.I will also add that a tune will improve throttle response and is a very noticeable improvement over the stock map. Better throttle response is a big help in mechanics of operating a manual transmission IMO.

 But I would never do many of the non-serious things you suggest
