Yeah, forgot to mention that. It took me about 6 months to just get used to my first manual transmission. Just take it slow until you have the basics down 100%. You'll know you're at that point when you don't even think about any of that stuff anymore...you just do it on instinct. Selecting gears becomes natural...you just sort of do it automatically based on what your eyes see ahead. I can't even remember the last time I have stopped to think "is this a second gear corner or a third gear corner?". After a while it all just becomes second nature. Once you get there, you can start to think about "heel toe" and "rev matching". Hell, I still haven't figured out heel-toe and I've been driving MT's for about 10 years now.
