Can you drive a stick?

[zworld]

I'm just curious How many here bought an auto because they never learned to drive a stick? When I bought my car I asked why they had it on the lot as long as they did. He said 80% of the people when they opened the door and saw the stick they just passed on it. Now I know some will reply that they were looking for the new auto. But that's not my question, my question is how many out there just never learned to drive a stick shift? Oh I prefer a stick for the fun factor, I feel I can make the car do what I want when I want, which for me is more driver control.

So, you only want people who don't know how to drive manual transmissions to reply? I'm guessing you won't get many responses. I would be very surprised if you got 5 responses that can't drive manual.

All the cool kids say they can drive dual clutch transmissions . Regardless if it does have it in the auto tranny or not . Although to answer your question, yes I can drive anything from 3spd to 7spd stick.

That's ok. You are right who is going to admit to not knowing.

I think you are misjudging the appeal of the modern automatic transmission and the Mustang client base.

My '13 Roush Stage 3 Mustang was a M6.
My current '19 Roush Stage 3 Mustang is an A10.

No, as I said just curious about how many just don't know how to drive a stick. It has absolutely nothing to do with which trans is more appealing.

I think even if you know how to drive a stick, the 10 speed is so good it makes a tough case to buy a manual.

I can operate a backhoe, front end loader, bull dozer, motor cycle, but I must admit. Driving an MT82 equipping Mustang might be the biggest challenge.

I learned on a '66 Econoline van with 3-on-the-tree.

I learned on a 47 Plymouth you had to double clutch. I had a 53 Chevy with "3 on the tree" and the linkage would jam about once a week so I had to get under the car with big screwdriver to pry it free. But OP is looking for people who can't drive stick, not those who can.

I don’t think so

Well it is fun to read a story every now and then about a carjacking that failed cuz the crook couldn't drive a stick. I'd almost think it funny if a carjacker killed himself in my car - as long as no one else got hurt.

My brothers first car was an econoline murder van with 3 on the tree. The only reason my dad got him that was he didn’t want to get an f150 to haul a small boat around.
