not that difficult. you just gotta get a feel for your clutch. shifting isnt a big deal at first, but then youd wanna learn how to effectively upshift and downshift to either help you slow down or speed up depending on your situation.

learning to drive stick by reading posts probably wont do you too good. :P

Hire a driving instructor or get your friend to be with you to teach how to drive a clutch. Go to an empty parking space and practice with that person. I don't recommend that you follow some instructions online or a book and experiment by yourself. You may damage the car (burn the clutch and damage the engine) or hit someone or another car.

^^WERD, ask someone who knows and practice. Driving a stick cannot be learned by reading books and forums.
