Any help would be much appreciated.
I learned how to drive using a manual transmission vehicle. It was the most difficult and dangerous way of learning to drive. One tends to be absorbed on changing the gears instead of focusing on the road. The transmission took a real beating. I remember the stink of the clutch. I didn't enjoy driving because of that manual.
