I'm planning to get rid of my 1990 Integ (automatic w/ a half dead transmission) and get something else w/ a stickshift this time. I have no clue how to do manual yet.

First of all, how hard or easy is manual? Do I have to practice a lot to get good at it? I hear some ppl busted their clutch first time they were practicing stick-shift.

I just want answers involving your previous experience w/ stickshift. How long it took you to learn it, whether or not you thought it was hard or easy.

Thx for your time
