I taught my friend to drive a manual in 15 minutes. I had him first just let the clutch out slowly until it started to grab and then push it back so the truck wouldn't stall. I had him do this a few times to get the feel of it and how the truck would react. Then I had him drive around a parking lot in 1st only so he would figure out when to push in the clutch to turn and when to let it out while giving it some gas. After that I told him to hit the streets and he was good from then on.
