I learned how to drive a stick when I was 17. It took me two weeks to get it right, but it’s a skill i won’t forget. And I’m glad to know it, it can be quite useful. My teacher was the best though, he was extremely patient. It was hard finding that balance between letting go of the break and depressing the clutch AND the gas; I felt like I needed 3 legs. It was very frustrating, but my advice is to stick to it, you will learn.
