my co-worker has a focus st with a factory service plan. every time he goes to the dealer for an oil change, HE has to drive it into the lifts, as they don't have any techs that know how to drive stick.
when i was a porter, no one i knew had a stick. my parents were formally opposed to the concept. the dealer refused to teach me until they took a beater stick on trade. i finally got tired of asking for help with all these cars, read 'how to drive stick shift' out of a chevy suburban manual, and gave it a shot in the next customer car that came through. i misunderstood 'popping the clutch' and 'letting the clutch out', but after a small chirp of the tires, i got it under control.
if this is your concern, i suggest you avoid allowing anyone to touch your car, and perform all maintenance yourself. it's generally my plan.
