Is it easier to learn manual on a car or a truck?

Truck. Super easy with a granny gear.

Find yourself a tractor to learn on

Why do people make suck a big deal out of learning a manual transmission?

If you have basic hand coordination skills then why are you asking how to do it?

Is this a thing in America only?

If you start on a diesel and then move to a gas car you have to learn that shit all over again.
best to start on CAR.

I'd think it matters on the specific vehicle and how grippy the clutch is.

I learned on a 90s ford ranger. I've driven plenty of manual transmission cars, but noticed that most trucks/jeeps (I've not driven many) seemed to have clutches that grabbed much higher - more dead-pedal action at the bottom that would make it a little tougher.

Can anyone confirm that about truck clutches?

>cars don't run on diesel too

>shifts into "Pontiac"

...

it's a big deal for car guys in the US, because it separates posers from people who actually care.
it means
1. you cared enough to find the fun transmission type
2. you cared enough to learn the fun transmission type
3. you demonstrated basic want to learn and want to be more self reliant (repairs)
with the rarity of manual cars in the US, it has become a right of passage to becoming a "real car guy"

Same is true here in aus as well.

I swear if I see another fucking built auto swapped into a Commodore I am gonna go on a Boomer bogan killing spree.

Cunts putting 3 speed turbomatics in their fucking factory manuals REEEEE

Oh well manuals are cheap because nobody wants them and they all for the built auto is strong and manual is less shit for skids and drag.

Idiots.

>Steps to git gud at stick
>Written by a drunk burger

Step 0(Empty space)
>Find an empty parking lot or somewhere with lots of space for you to fuck around
>Even better if it has a flat section and a slight hill somewhere
>Find spectators so they can laugh as you fail to do the next steps

Step1 (Learn bite point)
>let out clutch slowly till car starts to creep forward
>Get car moving on flat surface without using throttle
>Do this without stalling out

Step 2 (Throttle control)
>Now that you know where clutch grabs
>Same as step one but use throttle this time
>Slowly add throttle as you are letting clutch out (how much throttle depends car to car)
>Repeat until you can go from stopped to moving without being jerky as fuck

Step 3 (Hill Starts)
>Learn to do step 2 while on an incline without rolling backwards
>This is pretty much the same as step 2 but you will roll backwards if you are not fast enough
>add throttle while getting to bite point quickly

(Bitchmode Hillstarts)
>Usehandbrake to prevent rolling backwards
>Same as step 3

Step 4 (Downshifting)
>Learn what the RPM difference between gears
>Learn to blip throttle for desired RPM
>Match RPM with gear you want
>Go down 1 gear (5th-4th/4th-3rd)
>I'm almost a racecar driver mode down 2 gears on one blip
>Practice till you can do this not jerky as fuck

Step 5(Pracetice Practice Practice)
>Go drive
>Go drive more
>Keep doing all these things till you can do them without thinking about it

Step 6 (I'm fucking Dagumi now)
>Now that you can drive and are not jerky as fuck
>Heel Toe Dopwnshift
>Same as step 4
>Left half of ball of foot on brake
>While pushing brake either roll side of foot to blip throttle or twist and use heel to blip throttle (depends on car and pedal distance/setup) do whatever works for you there isnt a right way to do it
>Get the gear you want
>you now down a gear/slowed down and ready to go WOT out of the turn.
>foot off brake and onto throttle

Kys and get an 08 accord, shill

I learned to drive stick on a 1993 Mazda b2600i with no synchros left and about 60hp left in the engine. Now i'm really good at driving stick.

did yours have a tach? mine didn't have a tach. learning on that shit was cash.
