But if you are used to auto, moving to back manual is a big pain.
That I agree, Automatics are a lot easier to handle, but the sense of satisfaction and control, is different.
Practice makes perfect, once joyanz gets used to operating a manual gearbox and overcomes the glitch, he or she will have no problems powering a manual transmission.

i want to master controlling manual car well b4 moving on to auto.. no point shifting to auto if i simply cant control manual well. thats the whole point of obtaining a manual license right?
