^^the s2000 also has a light flywheel so shifts have to be relatively quick.

 

What's wrong with putting the S on neutral while coming to a stop as another member mentioned earlier?

I learned to drive stick by myself with a Honda Civic the very first night my friend drove it home for me. He was going to show me the next morning, but I couldn't wait and little by little got the feel between clutch, brake and gas pedals that very same night. It's funny, now I don't ever want an automatic car again Driving manual is just so much fun. The S is fairly easy to learn imo. My wife hadn't driven in quite some time, and she got the hang of it pretty quick.

 

I taught two cousins who hadn't really driven before and they only stalled once or twice...when I was learning I remember stalling a lot more.

I agree, the best place is a church parking lot on a Saturday afternoon...not Sunday!

And other than that, I also would get a lot of practice before going on any hilly roads because it is scary worrying about rolling backwards.

And lastly, be careful when doing a 1-2 shift while turning, the back wheels can lose traction very easily!

 

This thread is still alive? The OP should have learned by now.

 

Don't worry about it. There are plenty of S2000 owners that can't drive a stick.
