I started learning manual in my friend's miata a week before I bought the tS, I even had him drive it home from the dealership to avoid wear during the break in period. Fast forward a few weeks and now I'm shifting just fine.

The best thing you you can do is drive it as often as you can, and remember that the clutch is a wear item.

It's easier to do from a desktop, but if you click "Go Advanced" there will be an option near the bottom that says "Manage Attachments".
