As for the offtopic of manual transmissions though, you need an intelligent teacher who understands that you aren't born with this knowledge. You should spend time just sitting in the driveway, with your foot on the clutch and the brake with the car turned off, finding all the gears without having to look at the shifter.
Once you are familiar with all the gears, you then spend a few minutes learning where the clutch point is on your clutch so you don't stall out. Once you are familiar with this going forward, repeat the process in reverse.
Never start out on an occupied road, let alone a multi-lane street with busy traffic.
Also, on the topic of going from stationary to moving while on a hill with someone parked right up your ass, I had to do this in a old VW van with a diesel engine. The guy behind me obviously didn't understand the numerous difficulties of this but I gunned the bastard and was able to get off the line without putting my back end over his hood.
I said it before, and I'll say it again. If I knew scripture like you, I'd prolly be an athiest too.. -gut
