Cd, yours is the most troubling message in this thread. There's no reason to sit there claiming you can't do it, and no reason to handicap yourself for life because you weren't taught properly. Any San Francisco MT driver learns to start up on a hill without rolling backwards even a fraction of an inch.

Since it's not very nice to ruin someone else's clutch, the best way to learn is buy yourself an old MT beater like a $750 Hyundai Accent or an old Ford Escort, and learn to drive MT with it.
