How can I (re)learn driving stick?, It's been ~10 years since I last tried... Options

[CAMAricer]

Okay, so with all the crap that's been going on with my car, I've decided to purchase a second car (as a backup). But my options are rather limited b/c I can only drive an auto (I learned 10 years ago all in one afternoon at an empty parking lot but never touched it since). So...what is the best way to re-learn it? Keep in mind I have no one to teach me (don't know anyone in San Francisco who knows how to).

So any advice for me? Or any NorCal 6GC-ers willing to spare me an afternoon (or two) and their car to teach me? I'll compensate you for your time.

BTW, my next purchase is going to be an AE86. I figure if I'm going to learn how to drive stick, might as well learn how to drift too

I think it's very hard to try and write how to drive stick. I personally think its all about how the clutch feels and every car is different. I know since my swap i've driven my car and my b/fs car and his clutch doesn't pull like mine does and it's a totally different feel.

I think you should try again in a parking lot first, then find a road or even parking lot where you can practice on a hill.
