Bmw stick shift cars for sale1/4/2024 ![]() ![]() However, a couple of them bought Volkswagens for their first cars and had no trouble learning to shift. Back in the late 1950’s when I started driving, the cars that were owned by parents of some of my friends were automatics, so that is all some of my friends had ever driven. At one time, he bought a manual transmission pick up truck. My son figured out the manual right away and drives it as if he had been driving manual transmissions all his life. She then developed back problems and is uncomfortable driving the Mustang. However, he married a woman who brought a 5speed manual Ford Mustang to the marriage. My son had stayed away from manual shift cars. She taught herself to drive a standard shift and last I knew still drives a standard shift. The other woman didn’t start driving until she graduated from college. She commutes about 40 minutes each way to work in heavy traffic, but gets along just fine. When she did land a job, she traded the LeCar for a Honda Civic with a manual transmission and she has had manual transmission Hondas since that time. Her stories about the LeCar and its problems are hilarious. She taught herself how to drive the car in less than a day. She bought a Renault LeCar from her neighbor. One of the women had to buy a car when she did student teaching. Both taught themselves how to drive manual shift cars and both still drive manual shift cars. ![]() ![]() I have two female friends, both around 50 that grew up in homes where there was no vehicle. My father has done construction work and says it’s pretty pathetic to see construction workers running around, needing a truck moved, trying to find someone who can drive a stick so this truck can be moved out of the way. My father insisted that I, as well as my younger siblings, all learn to drive stick before any of us got our driver’s licenses. They will have a skill few of their peers, or adults for that matter, have, and they will be able to drive most anything out there. It’s not hard to learn, or to teach, and will give them a leg up on life. I think you should keep the car the way it is and teach your daughters to drive a manual. This procedure will also be extremely expensive, probably more than the car is worth. It is possible, but you need to find a professional who has done this before and will need another donor car for the necessary parts, like transmission, radiator, console, shifter, pedal brackets, etc. Doing a swap like this is sort of like performing a sex change operation. ![]()
