This is perfectly normal. When first starting, it still takes awhile before changing gears in critical situations becomes second nature. Just when you think you've got it all down, some unexpected situation comes up and you get a rough shift or a stall. But that's okay. It happens, even to me.

I think the biggest thing to learn is to avoid the urge to stab the gas pedal when you roll backwards or panic.
