    In an hour if you can’t get it then just quit and stop living altogether. So my answer is quite simple

    If you have a good teacher, it is very easy to learn. It does take a bit of practice to become very smooth with it, but it will eventually become second nature to you.

    Different for everyone. I have been driving stick for like 5 years…its second nature now. I have tried to teach some girl friends….it was scary as he**.

    It’s really easy - just takes a little patience. All my cars have been manual, until I moved to Florida - no need for manual since there’s no snow and ice here AND where I live I don’t even own a car anymore - ride my bike to work and walk or cab it anywhere else I need to go.

    It’s not tough at all. It usually takes a few days, maybe a week to fully get the hang of it. Just find a big, empty parking lot and mess around for a while. You’ll get it.

    very easy i learn by sitting on a hill and without using the gas pedal climbing the hill with your car using the clutch and the brake. it will be frustrating at first but you will get it. also when using the clutch think as if there is a raw egg under you foot so you press gently

    It’s not to hard if your friend is selling you the car maybe they could teach you before you commit to buy. Some people complain about driving manual if you sit in traffic a lot so that’s one thing to consider. Another thing to consider is if the car is older eventually you will need to replace the clutch which can be a little pricey if your on a really tight budget. The link below is about driving a manual transmission car. Hope I was helpful.

    It is very easy to learn to drive, and you have more and better control than with an automatic.

    I usually read the manual and drive the car.

    Very easy, but if you have a heavy traffic in ur city, you’ll hate us both (me and ur car). So the point is are you gonna wait in a long traffic?
