If you have any relatives that are experienced in manuals that could drive your car and give you some tips it would help. Be sure they're of a mature nature. You don't need some hot dog trying to show off giving you tips at this stage of your learning. You would benefit from someone who could just gently go thru the mechanics and perhaps give you a few tips. Time and practice will pay off for you. Don't be in a hurry.
Thanks Whaap, I'll go for a bit of practice with someone I know who's been driving manual transmissions for 20+ years, we'll see how that goes.

Thanks for the answers everyone, I'll report back on the progress
