I'm really glad to see this string. I was beginning to think I was the only one having problems with getting used to the clutch.

I'm in my 5th decade of life and have had quite a few manual transmission cars. Granted they have NOT been "quality cars". Over the years I've had VW bugs, light trucks and a 850 Fiat Spyder (embarassed to mention that one).

I purchased my Boxster this Summer in downtown Chicago. It was a scary trip back to Michigan. I stalled the car several times....and that is a big deal on Mich Ave.

After several months of practice I am a lot better but not perfect. I have the same problem that Randall mentions. I do stall it occasionally.

For me the bottom line is this: I can't daydream...it seems that I have to concentrate or I will screw up..
