I learnt to drive a stick when I was 10 years old. 49 chevy 4 speed with a granny. My first car was a 56 chevy with three on the tree so we put a conversion kit in it. When I tried to teach the wife to drive it was a 66 GTO 4 speed. I had to replace the clutch twice but she got the hang of it. When I got the 90 f-150 she would drive it more than her Dodge Monico. All of my kids learnt to drive a stick.
