yup. I took my 17 year old brother to the local HS parking lot and let him try to drive my 5speed. He got it on the second try! Then after a while he started stalling out over and over. The car was bucking like crazy It turns out he left it in second gear. I'll let him do some more practicing on his friends CRX.

 

your a nice bro, i learned on my sisters jetta 5spd with my sis and then when she wasn't around i would take her car out and when i felt confident i started taken mom's maxima out before i got my liscence (im a bad kid, or i was just born to be behind the wheel) Thanx a million to my SiS.

 

I am teaching my older brother to drive my 5 Speed. He is finally getting it.

 

I dont know how to drive a 5 spd. My dad taught me when I was 15 how to drive his 4 spd 57 MGA . Its close enuff to a 5 spd, after many times of misshifting and griding gears, im a shifting ace To bad i got an automagic.

 

i learned how to drive stick on my cousins friends '69 mustang 3 speed! lol im serious! now that has poweR! but that was like 3 years ago i prolly forgot now!

 

I learned from taking my toyota classes tercels and the pickups that we work on in our classes

 

I learned how to drive one with my first ride... an 85 Chevy S-10, 4spd. My friend has been begging me to teach him to drive a 5spd. I just keep telling him when he buys one, I'll teach him, lol.

 

i learned on my friends early 90s mustang GT.. i remember doing it pretty good. After that i had some practice every now and then when working vallet parking.. only real experience i ever got was with this max.. i've only had it for like a month.. been driving it a little over 2 weeks and about a week ago i really started loving it and got to a point i'm starting to love it more and more every day.. rowing through gears and being able to accelerate like that is one of the best feelings.. i don't know if i'll be able to drive an auto again

 

That grill on your car looks so freakin' retarded, the car looks like an older model Mercury Sable...

 

LOL! I remember when I was a freshmen in highschool and I took the maxima out with the spare keys nad taught myself. and now im powershifting which is bad for the tranny but good for impressing

 

Your a nice guy, i wouldent even let my g/f learn on my max if it was a stick.. id let sombody drive...but not teach...thats just asking for abuse on the car.

 

I learned by driving drunk peoples cars home for them! LOL, good way to learn all sorts of different clutches. What sucks, Im an auto

 

stfu

 

Naw, ya never forget. It's like riding a bike.........
















that's fast as sh*t!

 

I taught my wife in about 5 minutes in a parking lot in my old '97 Altima. Next weekend she took the car across Michigan by herself. Now she will only drive a stick

 

I learned on my friends POS GTI. Steve, I think you need more practice. With the 5-speed, you shoulda taken me out last week

 

i learned to drive a 5 speed in my friends modified 95 M3...i didnt stall it once!! lol btw that thing was quick . i really wish i had a 5 speed

 

no one likes a flamer! i dont want to start! .... keep coments to urself!

 

i first learned on a backhoe hehe yeah my dad works construction and I used to drive it... then i realy learned how to drive a 5sp in a 1981 Fiat spider, dang i miss that car, it was fun to drive

 

that was like my 5th day driving the 5 speed
for some idiot reason i tried to shift when i was in 4th.. i should have taken it up to redline.. but i was either trying to downshift to 3rd or shift to 5th, which would make no sense.. but thats when i blew it all..

we'll do it again though

 

Yeah definately. My next car (years from now) I might consider a stick. Enjoy it

 

Hmm .. I learned by test driving them! I'd tell the sales person I knew how to drive stick .... woo hoo!

Granted .. I had three motorcycles prior to ever driving stick in a car .. so I had the concept / fundamentals in my head .. they just weren't quite in my feet & hands .. though .. all of the sales people I had were pretty accomodating.

I've now taught my sister, my cousin and a girl I had a crush on ...

The girl I had a crush on was far & away the most uncoordinated person I've tried to teach yet ... I told her straight to her face while we were in her jacuzzi ....
