thanks guys!

I pretty much got the 1st 2nd gear down today.

Only two things that I really need practice on.

Starting from an upward slope.

and

from a major street driving into a drive way thats super steep. This is is extra hard, because I need to downshift while make sure I break yet not completely stopped, then using the momentum to drive into the drive way...also making sure not to scratch the bumper....

ya.... just need to practice..

BTW pics coming soon... lazy to take those pics haha..

Congrats fellow Ultramarine brother lol. This was also my first manual car and compared to other cars the clutch is very light. Drive it around and you'll get used to it quick.
