How Many People Here Know How to Drive A Manual Transmission?

[DarrenWS6]

I enjoy manual trans, the little Neon I currently have is fun to drive when it doesn't want to act complicated.

The 2002 Trans Am WS6 was the best manual I have ever experienced though. V8 rwd power with full control of the torque at your left foot and right hand, and some tire chirping and marking here & there

I can drive a manual, but I'll admit that I'm not the best at it. I drove a POS manual Honda Civic for 2 years. I bought it back in 08 when gas went up to $4.50 a gallon. I did OK except for stopping on hills or inclines at a red light. That was the one thing I had a little trouble with.

I've learned on a manual, but I also have some difficults starting uphill drives. Well, at least back here even the newer trucks are getting rid of the pedal-activated E-brakes to use a more conventional lever-activated, which eases the uphill drives for those who can't do the punta-tacco for any reason.

I can drive stick, not the best at it. The only time I really drive manual is when I drive one of the Rock crawlers

And it's more usual for rock-crawlers to use automatics...

I think I may officially call on this poll.

Maybe everyone that can't just abstained from voting.

95% claiming to be able to drive a manual, the majority from a country where 80% of the entire fleet is automatic...

Well, "can" doesn't mean they can do it very well.

Yeah... I probably can't drive one either...
I just said I could so I didn't embarrass myself...
I haven't done any good "Heel and Toe" shifting in a while...
