Tips for new stick drivers

Considering how many recent posts I've seen recently asking for tips or tricks, figured I'd list a few from when I was learning.

1. Find the friction point first, it's the point where the car rolls forward under the engine's idle while on flat terrain. 2. Learn to shift smooth first, speed will follow 3. If you stall it, let the clutch out slower, don't give it more throttle. 4. Don't get discouraged, even people that have been driving stick for years still stall and miss shifts.

Not a catch all and I'm by no means an expert on driving. I'm sure others will post their own tricks and tips in the comments. Thanks and happy shifting.
