Stick shift

[fedx]

How many hours does it take to learn how to drive a stick?

Depends on how many wheels you have. 4 wheels might only take 2 hours to master shifting. 18 wheels might take over 2 weeks to get decent at it. Semis require double clutching that only involves tapping the clutch. Downshifting is way different on a semi too. Semis also take off from a stop without touching the accelerator whereas a car would stall. So it depends on what type of vehicle you're talking about.

Many things confuse him.

Nothing confuses him like cold water though ... he's not sure what sex he is!

Since you're learning, flat or on an incline... when in doubt, take your foot completely off the clutch with your left foot but step on the gas pedal with your right foot right before you release the clutch with your left. Problem solved, every time.

Couple of hours?

It takes more that. A few weeks yes, a few hours, no.

When you can drive without thinking about it, you are set.

Now stop crying.

Exactly. You can learn "how" in a few minutes but it takes practice before you are any good at it.
