When I was 14 or 15 my father bought a car with a manual trans and I can remember sitting in the backseat while he taught my older brother how to drive it. When I was 16 (and only been driving a few months with an auto), my sister picked me up from work one night in the manual trans car. She was a little too drunk to drive and handed me the keys and told me to drive home. I have to pat myself on the back... with only what I heard my father tell my brother a year earlier, I drove that Datsun flawlessly (except twice I tried to put her back in 1st before coming to a full stop).
My advise to learning to drive a manual is to know what to do and practice, practice, practice.
