It's pretty hard to describe how to operate a manual transmission. With an automatic, you press down the gas pedal, you go, want to go faster, press down more. With a manual, not only do you have to use the gas pedal to accelerate , you must select the optimum gear. You get a feel and an ear for how your engine is running. You learn when to shift at what rate of acceleration, when holding in gear is pointless, when shifting too soon bogs down the engine. And that's just when to shift, next you have the clutch, and it's relationship to the gas pedal. Basically the only way to learn all this is through driving.
