Ever done a manual without a clutch?

No, I am confident that Aqua’s sister and std transmission go hand in hand.

My "stick driving skilz" are sorely lacking. I've never owned a manual transmission car (Mrs. George wouldn't abide it), and the last time I drove a stick was in...1980, when I rented a U-Haul for our move out of the city into the 'burbs.
My current car (Have I mentioned I love my A4?) has wheel-mounted paddles for shifting, should I want to use them. I almost never do.

Shucks, get it rolling and I can drive a manual without a clutch...
Easy to do in low torque situations. But hard when, say, you pull a big trailer or drive uphill.

Probably couldn't do it uphill, but I cut my teeth on a 270 Cummins, splittin' gears on a 13 speed Fuller. I can power shift one with a load.

How many people any more of the younger generation know how to drive a manual car? I think it is still more common in Europe and Asia, but even decreasing there. I believe that I read somewhere that only like 5% or less of cars in the US are made with manual now.
In Taiwan, your driving license will indicate if you took your car test with an automatic or a manual. If you took with a automatic, you are not allowed to drive a manual (or could get a ticket). Of course, if you took with a manual, you can drive either.
(PS My license was learned on a manual. LOL)

I taught all 3 of my girls how to drive a stick shift. The oldest took to it like a duck to water. The twins seem to have too much anxiety and hated it. We have 4 vehicles in the family and only one is stick now.
TG, my wife wanted my girls to pass their driver's tests with a stick shift, just like she did!

Nah, that's three on the tree not the bush.
