I support the training wheel method of learning. I think it's better to learn on a AT first so you can become a better defensive driver without the distraction of shifting gears. Once you're able to navigate the sea of stupid drivers unscathed then you can shift your focus to a MT. There are people that are too scatter brained to even be driving they'd be the idiots peppering the streets with stalled cars and flaming clutches!

I learned how to drive stick 5 years after getting my license, took a day to learn mastered it within months but stopped driving MT for years now I'm average (FR-S MT is weekend only car).
