Nah, just gotta learn where the engage point is on the clutch. Like BoostHog, I've also taught people in a matter of hours. All you really need to learn is how far you have to let the clutch out so that it engages and the cars starts moving forward, without having to add gas. Once you find that point, and the car begins to roll forward, just add gas, let the rest of the way off the clutch and off you go. After you have that down, flat road, mount everest, it doesn't matter how steep the hill is, you just do the same thing, and the car will go forward. Shifting gears once you've started going is cake. Kinda hard to explain over the interwebs, but just get out there and try it.I want to learn how to drive a stick but I think it would take me a ton of practice to perfect driving in the hills. Some of those streets in sf are hella steep!
Note: This is the best way I've found to teach people. Once you have it down, no need to sit there slowly letting the clutch out til the car rolls forward, you'll be coordinated and just do it all in one motion
