I think the biggest thing to learn is to avoid the urge to stab the gas pedal when you roll backwards or panic.
Sometimes I freak out when I start to roll backward, but I usually catch the clutch. Its new but fun. Its like relearning to drive again. The simplest things to do in an automatic become challenging in a manual.
