the '67' Bug
 
I've been driving VW Beetles since '67'. The manuals were a bit finicky but, I had a real feel for them. My friends would always insist that I drive their Bugs because they just couldn't seem to get the gears to mesh smoothly.

Welcome to the forum. Attachment 2565

If you not used to a manual gearbox it will take time to get used too.

I don't own one; Keith. I just drive them for my friends who don't like to drive them. I also teach them how to drive their manuals. It's an art form, you know. It seems that there are a few romantics out there that romanticize driving a manual. It's love at first site right up to the moment they have to operate the transmission manually, in heavy traffic, on a hill. Then it's scared stupid like a rabbit in the headlights.
