Learn Stick-Shift In San Diego

It all started when…

I tried learning stick in 2012.

It was a Volkswagen Jetta.

It was glossy red.

It was beautiful.

It was pristine.

It was brand new.

My friend showed me the process.

It looked really easy for him.

I couldn’t figure it out.

I began to sweat.

When I thought I got it, I tried to move the car.

Instead, I grinded the gears.

It left me shocked.

Perplexed.

Embarressed.

I didn’t try for another ten years…

Why I’m teaching…

In 2022, I bought a manual transmission car.

I had to buy one to get the practice… I found out there are no places to learn stick in San Diego, or much of the US.

I’ve designed this class so that others can enjoy a fun, efficient first experience with learning stick shift.

Since, I have taught my friends and family. In the process, I’m seen and identified the major learning hurdles. I can teach you quickly and avoid major, costly mistakes.
