Wow I only stalled about twice when I first started driving a manual.
Get good faggot.

If you can't figure out how to not stall constantly after a few times, just get an auto.

It's okay man, start-stopping is tough. I had to go to a parking lot at night a few times before I get the hang of it. If you're doing a hill start or going from a red light, apply throttle steadily as you release the clutch even before the biting point. Also, don't do the parking brake hill method. It's okay if you roll back a little, just stomp the gas lol.

Go to a parking lot and pick like 6 spaces to stop and go between making full stops and keeping it in first. Try to go both ways without stalling.
Isaac Jenkins
Just relax and take things slow. Try not to get upset or worked up because you stalled it just makes things worse. Also just keep practicing in an empty parking lot, you'll get it eventually.

It takes about 2 hours to learn manual, and 6 months to master.
Just have someone teach it to you, and drive with someone all the time who can give you pointers, and correct your mistakes, otherwise you will never learn.
I stalled a few times when I learned it myself, its okay.
Elijah Brown
Thanks m8s i guess i will try and get it to a parking lot again or go out with my dad again to get some more time in. Only drove for like an hour and a half yesterday. Biggest problem is the clutch and letting it out slowly for me.
