I went from 10 lessons in a manual corolla to a r32 manual gtst. There was also a month gap since i last drove the corolla. I found the r32 much harder to stall than the corolla. Hell, the engine lights would come on and I just had to press in the clutch for it to start up again

Took about a week to get used to it, and probably another one to not depend on the handbrake on steep hills

Get the manual!

Cheers

haha we all go through that stage. Remembering now, i didnt drive with radio on for the first week as it was too distracting. Had a clutch and gears to worry about without the yacking of a radio

Might also get a couple of smells of clutch burning too haha

All in the learning

Manuals become second nature within a couple of weeks. it is the only way to go.

sorry mate i probably text to much on my phone bad habit of writing like it i think so couple wks or so should all be good im sure ill be able to get over the embarrassment of stalling if im in a sweet looking car i'll probably have to get used to the smell of clutch for a bit to huh would i be in danger of seriously damaging it in those couple wks

you'l probably buy a new clutch in the future anyways, so doesnt matter
