Learn Stick In San Diego

Instructor’s vehicle: 2019 Ford Fiesta ST

 
 

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.

I couldn’t figure it out.

I began to sweat in the driver’s seat.

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

It left me shocked and perplexed.

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…

There are no places to learn stick.

I want others to have 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.
