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

[GatorFan]

Hell yeah, nothing wrong with a manual. I learned on a 1973 F-100 (3 on the tree of course). Owned a 1972 Datsun with a 3 1/2 speed (the shifter was broke ) and owned 1 car and 3 other trucks with a manual. I have just become lazy and don't want to bang gears anymore BUT if I won the lotto, I would have a new Camaro or Shelby GT-500 in the garage and it WOULD have a manual tranny!

Yup. I wonder how many folks here will be honest on this one though.

I was curious about that too.

Well, I'd hope everyone would be. No one has ever been ridiculed here.

Forgot to mention that I trained the wife to drive a 5-speed... 1 clutch later and she was driving like Mario Andretti on the highways!

Is that similar to a Camero?

The first manual I drove was my Grandfather's 1946 Ford pickup.
Later I had a '50 Ford convertible, a 50 Chevy sedan, a '55 Ford 2 dr hardtop and on and on and on...
