I'm getting better, let me start out saying that first. Stupid manual transmission...that's the second part. I haven't hit anyone, yet...why is it on a slight incline my pickup has a tendency to want to roll into the car behind me? I did pretty good at keeping it from happening, matter of fact it was probably one of my better stop and goes...but it isn't all that fun. Stupid manual...

 I remember when the first few years I drove a stick shift, I'd avoid hills like they were the darn plague. Didn't mattr how small an incline. I'd get skeered outta my darn wits.

I love my mustang. It is manual and fun in the rain
 When you get use to it, you will have tons of fun with it

I just hold it in first and roll up and roll back and roll up and roll back. No one ever gets too close that way

Fear, I learned to drive on a stick and my dad put me on a hill and told me when I got over it I could drive anywhere. MOST frustrating experience of my life but well worth it. I love stick shifts and pretend I'm playing pole position when driving.

The pick up I have no is the only vehicle I've ever had that wasn't a manual.
Dad taught me how to drive in a really old cemetery that had 4 ways and hills. He'd make me pull part way up a small hill and kill it. Ugh, it sucked! But I learned! Plus, Dad said it was the safest place for me to learn to drive... everyone was already dead!  It will get easier with practice!

All my cars have had manual trans in them. When I drive the my company truck I'm allways looking for the floor shifter.

Driving...it's just a fad. So's TV and Internet!

I love stick shifts and pretend I'm playing pole position when driving. Yeah...only way I will go on a hill is if it is a cemetary, aside from that I see no need. Of course eventually I will have no choice, so then it will be a matter of learning really...really...quickly... |

I drive a stick, and I don't know if your truck is set up for this, but when it's really steep and tight with traffic, like in San Francisco, I use the emergency break. I just pull it up, hold the buttone down so it doesn't lock, and let off on it as I accelerate; keeps me from rolling back. But depends on where your emergency break is.
