Its been like eight months since I have driven stick, and even then I didnt drive that car but for a few days.

Im picking up my Celica here in a little bit, and I havent driven stick in so long. Well, I drove it when I test drove the car, but that was for all of 10 minutes.

This should be interesting.

Lol it's all good, shoot when I bought my new daily driver Cobalt since my project car is garaged I hadn't driven for a while. Had a 30 min drive back from the dealership...and had to go straight to work on a busy street with a shit ton of hills. O man...wheel spinning fun while I got used to that new clutch. Lol poor clutch :)

I have never used a manuel transmission.  Is that the type where there is a Mexican shifting for you?

Don't screw things up like you did with the title of the topic and you'll be fine.


Yeah...

I didnt do terribly, but I still havent gotten used to it again. I know Im going to be avoiding downtown as much as possible though.

Just try not to ruin the clutch. =]
Make sure you don't accelerate all at once, and to remove the clutch progressively. (Y)
You'll be just fine.

poor car

I know.

Ill probably kill the transmission these first few days.

Its a shame, since the transmission in it was completely rebuilt three months ago.
