So, my boss taught me how to drive stick in her '04 Wrangler. The transmission on that car is pretty difficult to shift-- you have to wrestle it into gear. I have a few hours of seat time under my belt, and I seem to be okay at it. Not great, but good enough to drive it around town and in parking lots without stalling it out.
Strangely, my co-worker has been telling me all along that it is "impossible" to learn on a Wrangler. He said it'd be too difficult, blah blah. Not sure what he meant by that? I mean, the shifter is pretty lousy and the clutch is on the stiffer side, but it didn't seem too bad.
So out of curiosity, what kind of car did you guys learn stick shift on? How long did it take you to master the basics? Any embarassing stories?
