You Can’t Dig Upwards (2014)
- dekhn 8y agothis is a weird article. I learned stick on a Miata. Here's how it went: I didn't know how to drive stick. Somebody described the principle, gave me the keys to a miata, I hopped in, and immediately drove around SF, including hills. I proceeded to buy a miata, and put over 100K miles on it, never had any problems with the clutch. Dumped a huge amount of strain on it and the transmission (stop and go in SF, engine braking etc) without problems. The analogy would have worked better with a car that didn't have an amazingly nice clutch like the miata. and knowing how a clutch and transmission works has made no difference in me driving automatic cars effectively.
