I would take you out to a large empty parking lot and probably in 1/2 hour have you handling the 'stick shift' (manual) of the Slingshot --- If you can walk -- talk and chew gum all at the same time you can learn to drive a manual. There are several designs in the patterns of gears in the different stick shifts. not all cars or trucks or Slingshot are the same. (Slingshots are all the same)
Hi ladies! Im thinking of buying a Slingshot, can you give me some pros and cons and honest thoughts about them? I’ve also never driven manual so was wondering how long it took you to learn manual/ how different they are from driving a manual car.
Thank you 😊😊
If you are really interested let us know where you are located and somebody is probably close enough to give you a test ride and maybe a test drive.
Lots of very good low mileage Slingshots for sale used.

To answer your last question clearly - driving a Slingshot with a manual transmission is identical to driving a car with a manual transmission (but way more fun of course). So, if you learn to drive a manual in a car you’ll be good to go.
Manuals are more fun & rewarding to drive vs. automatic transmissions.
Automatic transmission:

Thanks EjFord I should have said all of that also.

Okay thank you for the info! I was looking into automatic slingshots but it would be more cost efficient to get the manual, so I plan to learn.
What part of the country are you in? I'm in Northern Indiana and FunCycle is in SC, we have been friends and riding together since Apr 2015 and both have over 90,000 miles in the seat of a Slingshot....we like them just a little bit.

Good thinking! Otherwise, you might spill your drink. (And, of course, that would be alcohol abuse)

Personally, I have never looked to see what section a post is in. That could have changed the flavor of the responses but it is not obvious unless you look for it.
