After talking and watching a friend drive stick last night something clicked, and driving stick became a whole lot easier. I’d been driving around most of the weekend (I bought my first manual transmission car last week) and was getting gradually more comfortable, but I think it wasn’t until last night that I had my fun/scariness crossover threshold. Shifting into first is much easier when you put a lot more gas into it. My technique can still use work, but it’s becoming much more natural. Last night I got into this sort of state where I wasn’t even thinking about it. I think that’s good.
