SoCal, I think the best approach is experimentation to determine what works best for you, within the general framework of what we could term "best practices". A DE (Driver's Ed) teacher, or someone else you get paired up with at a PCA event might have some good insights, but I would imagine they'll be more concerned with getting you around the course safely, than the mechanics of your driving.

I would chalk up any insights I might have to a good teacher (Dad) and my own experimentation. I'm an avid and pretty good golfer so I focus on what my body is doing when making athletic motions and achieving consistency. I'm an analyst for a securities firm, so I analyze and write for a living. But most helpful, I've just spent a gazillion miles in manual cars (I've had some long-ass commutes for previous jobs; for example, I used to live in Philadelphia but worked in New York) and if you're moving in gridlock, working on your shifting is just another way to pass the time.
