I am sure you can hire someone from the forums to fly down with you and drive it back

Better yet, just go keep test driving cars... tell the salespeople they have to teach you how to drive a manual if they want to sell you one

www.standardshift.com check out their forums. Also, just find a friend who'll let you learn, I let like 4 or 5 ...actually I thikn like 6 of my friends learn on my car, and they didn't stall too often and got it down pretty quick, it just takes practice. What I find help the MOST is...know where the connecting point is, and DON'T let the clutch out any further until you're atleast rolling, and if you want to go faster, just add gas and let go of clutch as you build speed, what I find, and not sure if this is bad for the clutch is, you HAVE to ride the clutch a little, you can't let the clutch out any further than the connecting point until you've either have enough speed or gas. I'm not saying ride the clutch for like a few seconds, but enough to be moving. Also, don't add more than 1.5k rpm while you're "riding" the clutch because that'll just burn it up. When I say riding I mean holding the clutch at the engagement point and letting it out slowly. Hold it there until you're moving because if you're not moving enough and you let it out more, the car will stall.
