We just bought a new (to us) Jeep and those are one of the few cars still being made with manuals. When were were out looking we ran across a lot of Wranglers that had a manual. Kind of surprised me since they seem rare any more.My first car was a Model A Ford, which had a 3-speed floor shift manual transmission. The transmission had no syncros, so you had to double-clutch when downshifting. Since it had a 63-pound flywheel, it took forever for the engine to slow down to match the gearing when upshifting.
I didn't have any trouble learning to drive it, because I had been driving the family 2N Ford tractor (1945 vintage) since I was 12 years old.
My kids got to learn manual transmissions by taking the 1948 Jeep CJ2A out in the hayfield until they got the hang of it. They bought a 1992 Honda Accord with a manual transmission to drive to High School, and my daughter kept driving it through getting her Master's Degree in College. She and her brother are both overseas now, but don't want to let go of the Honda. They fear that they won't be able to find another car with a manual transmission!
They would have driven the Jeep to school, but my wife refused to allow that because the Jeep didn't have airbags.
