Where can I learn to drive stick in NYC? I plan on getting a Mini with manual transmission. So I want to learn before heading to dealers to test drive. Everyone I know drives an automatic.

 

You could do what I did the other day. I asked to test drive a manual CPO. Told them that ive never drove a manual before and would like to give it a try. They should be more than happy to give you a feel for it since your going to get a mini. It was my first time driving a manual and it was fun and nerve racking all at the same time. Or call your local DMV office . Best of luck.

They can put you in touch with an instructor.
You might even discover Solo and get a big kick out of it. Run stock and compete against yourself.

Great posting. Engine sounds along with narrative are very informative.

 

I appreciate the posts. I've watched almost every video on youtube and read about it. I need the real feel of one.

 

Do it!

I'm allergic to automatics...

 

Shoof I am too!
