Borrow a friend's car that they don't mind you learning on. Or buy a beater manual car.
Too bad you don't live in Europe because most rental cars are manual.
Once you learn, you never forget. It's like riding a bike. Have fun.

yeah most cars here are manual apart from luxury ones. To drive a manual you need to pass a test in a manual, so obviously most people learn in manuals from the begining.

They have a little shifter for that? I thought it was more like an F1 shifter, not like a standard H pattern.
The BETTER game for that is GTR...they have a clutch option, and thats just hardcore.

On a more serious note, just get the basics of how to do it online and go get your Z. I had never driven a manual in my life until I got my Z. You will learn fast when forced to.
Just be sure to go and pick it up during off hours when there is less traffic.
