I doubt you could read too many threads on this forumm and NOT learn something, regardless of how much you thought you knew when you got here.
To Drive the car, this is all you need to read.

hah, man i didnt have this many questions when i started learning how to drive a stick on a Z 7months ago. u just feel the car know what to do. of course smooth = correct... jerky = wrong... so trial and error, find how to make driving smooth.

i still cant believe how so many of you dont even understand what is rev-matching? how the *** do you drive then? just shift and let go of clutch? well damn, dont ask me to sit in ur car ok? cause i will go insane crazy over the jerkiness.

smooth = silky goodness, as long as you don't drag the clutch excessively.

Do you know how to drive stick????????????? It all depends on how and where you are driving. Use the heal toe method, it's real easy to do.

How about downshifting while driving an automatic put into manual mode?
