Reverse was the easiest for me.

When you get alittle better start rev-matching your downshift.

Thats when you blip the gas while the clutch is pushed in. What this does it minimize wear on the clutch b/c your matching the revs. If you just downshift w/o rev matching your making the clutch do more work to get to the desired RPM. If you blip the throttle before you disenage the clutch your RPM's will already be at the point they should be at

Honestly, just practice. All I can really say. I'm 20, have had 5 cars...all have been stick. And driving stick is a joke now. You don't even think about any of it after a while. Just practice....lots. lol

Lesson #1:
1. Go to your g/f's house at a time her dad's home.
2. Put in 1st with foot on clutch
3. Turn Traction Control off
4. Press the throttle all the way to the floor.
5. Let out clutch.

Trust me, Dad's love that stuff.
