[quote=Anonymous]I learned on a manual and my dad told me I will just "feel" when I have to shift. It was easier to have a "speed" to know when to shift. He, of course, didn't know what speed might require a new gear because manual transmissions were all he knew, and he's right, you learn to "feel" when to shift. But he drove one day in it and I watched what speeds he hit before shifting, and memorized those. That helped me start off. And then once you get the hang of it, you realize that you also feel when you should shift, and it works out. Manuals are safer, in my opinion, especially in the snow. You can down shift instead of hitting breaks, and just going in a lower gear down hills is helpful for keeping the car steady. So I'm a big fan of them everywhere but beltway commutes! :) In any event, I Drive Smart is a company that teaches you to use a manual transmission, but I believe they expect you to know how to drive an automatic first.
