AvesPKS posted:Thanks for the responses. I have actually driven a manual before (once, for about a mile), and am pretty confident in my ability to pick it up, because I'll have to, heh. My main concern is test driving, but yeah I can get a friend to come with who can can drive manual as well. Unfortunately I can't seem to track down anyone with a manual to learn, ah well. Learn to drive stick on test drives. If you feel bad, do it at a used car lot. I learned this way telling every dealer "I don't know how to drive stick and I'm not interested in this car but I am buying a car right now" which was the truth and I never had a dealer bat an eye. I even had one insist I test drive a new m3 without a ridealong. I didn't and now I know where not to go for a new BMW =) however I did test drive a new 6 series and 135i and I feel bad for them now. If you have a conscience do it on used cars.

Just keep the rpms below 3000 or so and you'll be fine. The clutch is what I'd be most worried about. Maybe the transmission too but I rarely see first timers grind a gear, that's usually something that happens when you're distracted rather than new to stick.
