Hi There,

You might be able to find what you need on youtube...a sampling of videos below (from very basic including driving in traffic to more advanced). You may be past these at this point but could be helpful!


I own a tiptronic but learned stick on a Ford Escort Wagon and a 1999 Boxster.

Good Luck!

 

This is great. I have no issues with you learning on a porsche. Just know if you are a slow learner you may need a new clutch sooner than normal. Whatever, 2k and done. And you get to enjoy the pcar.

Smooth is key. Practice over and over and over. Only way to learn it. Not a message board.

I learned in a 1979 toyota landcruiser back in the 90s. Was great learning car, heavy clutch, nearly impossible to stall due to low gearing and torque.

Driving a manual is a good skill to have. keep at it!

 

Yes, that's right. You can lift quickly but slow it down right at the biting point to be smooth and not jerky. With practice you will know how it should feel. Probably less than half a second; just briefly slow the movement of your foot pulling away just at the biting point

 

I might be in the minority here, but I think the 911 is easier to drive than most manuals. The clutch is relatively stiff and has good feel, the engine torquey and flywheel heavy. I picked up a Mazda3 and get annoyed at how light the clutch is and how less refined the the drivetrain feels.

OP,

The higher in gears you go, the quicker and smoother your shifts tend to be since the torque reduction is lower... there tends to be less shock on the driveline.

Do you have/are you using Sport mode? I recommend leaving it off if you're still learning how to drive manual.
