Thanks for the welcome ^_^, as for stalling... only once while at an intersection. Not to worry though, only an impatient BMW at a stop sign made me let go of the clutch too fast @_@. Then once more while trying to parallel park at a friend's town house complex. Any tips with regards to reversing?

Surely the Versa has a reverse which automatically grabs?!? All my sticks have been set up so that you don't have to press the gas to reverse, you just release the clutch and it pulls itself back. I'm not very technical when it comes to transmissions... sorry.

I did notice reverse grabs harder than first which I thought to be a bit weird >_>. I guess practice makes perfect applies here.

a little top for uphill when at a redlight.

hold brake press clutch put it into 1 then slowly release clutch and you will feel it grabbing and you can let go of the brake and just ride the clutch if you feel it about to stall press it down more then up little gas then down. You'll get the hang of it

its not that hard to get used to... i was used to 5 speed cars till i got this one and i think the 6 speed is a whole lot better to drive other then 5 speeds... i sometimes just run the rpms up to 1k... but the best way to learn is to drive with no shoes on... it works trust me no shoes and drive around town... gl

^^^ I would give that a whirl, but its below freezing outside ^^; and I can't exactly go to work with no shoes on now can I . Thanks for the tip though, I'll try it out weather permitting
