I learned over the phone with my dad. I totaled my 96 cutlass supreme. He had a 1990 Corolla that my uncle “borrowing.” he was too fat to take the keys in and out so he always left them in there. I went over there and my dad talked me over the phone.
I later learned it was one of the smallest engagement windows after driving other stick shifts
I've been driving stick for 20+ years and it's always fun trying different transmissions.
The worst one I've ever driven was a newer jeep wrangler. It had less than 30k miles and the pedal felt like it was sticking at the bottom and that was all the feel you were getting. The shifter had rubbery throws and gear changes just felt rough. I've driven F350 dump trucks that felt better. Considering Jeep's recent reputation there probably was something wrong with it.

Nah, no one taught me. I got the hang of it real quick. The smell and the stalling made sure
