I learned stick when I was 14 in my dads Datsun 240Z. If a 14 yr old can learn stick in an old car with no power steering, and a really stiff clutch, anybody can learn stick.
edit: I find FWD manuals to be harder. For some reason I can never shift smoothly accelerating and turning fast from a stop sign. I just assume its harder because my car is FWD and the front end is doing every single thing.
next time try reverse cookies. fantastic fun in a front wheel drive car. and with a stick shift you can do lots of fun tricks like poping the clutch and hammerin the gas
reverse cookies being a great time.
these car thieves are idiots. they shoulda hired some 11 year old
i only recently found out fw manual is a whole easier than rw.
why do you say that. i've driven both and never really noticed a difference in operations...
of course in snow, rear wheel cars can be a little more tricky.
just what ive been told. never drove fw manual. i was just told they are alot harder to stall, something with traction and the engine weight being over the wheels.

i've driven both and stalled both. hate when that happens.
i think the easability boils down to the power of the engine, the gearing and the clutch feel.
fwd you get a little torque steer, rwd, you get the potential for kick outs. both can be fun.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
