Learning to drive with a clutch should be mandatory and this might sound contradictory to the rest of my story here. In fact, come to think of it, when I took driver's ed we started out driving with a 54 Chevy with a stick shift and we had to master that before we drove the new driver's ed car with the automatic. We farm boys didn't have any trouble but most of the girls did their share of jerky launches. My first attempt at a stick shift was in my dad's 49 International pickup when I was maybe ten years old or a little older. Did OK with the clutch except I put it in reverse instead of low so I took off backward for a few feet with dad running after me. LOL Then I got it in low and everything went smooth.
I don't see the big deal about wanting to drive a stick. Last time I bought a pickup I requested an automatic. I'm tired of shifting gears, I've shifted gears for all of 50 years and now it's time to be able to just mash the pedal and go.
When I was growing up the first automatic in our family was a new 62 Chevy with powerglide. Mom was a polio survivor and her right leg didn't work well so the automatic was a blessing for her.
