Well guys, yesterday was the first time i drove her 
and you can guess
i stalled her
anyways i am getting better at it. i found that its easier for me to start in granny gear to prevent stalling.
i know you guys will tell me that i will only move 3ft, but this is a start.
I figure after a few more times, i will disregard the granny gear and jump straight into starting in 2nd

True, I am "learning" to drive my dad's 300zx thats a stick. I used to always kill it because I didn't give it gas as I was letting the clutch out. I thought I could let the clutch out and it would roll slowly on its own like if you just put an auto in drive and let off the brakes. I was wrong.

just to make sure we're on the same page... are you referring to granny/low as being first, then first as being second, second as third and third as fourth?kittykat4 said:OK
why in hell is it so hard to go from 2nd to 3rd
i feel like i can shove that stick when i go from 2nd to 3rd right into the dash
if so, i had a hard time learning to find the second gear (meaning the one up and to the right) efficiently so that i wouldn't lug the engine when i finally got into it. just give it a bit of time and you'll start finding the gears pretty easy. make sure that you're really reaching the top end of your power curve to make shifts easier/smoother and to prevent lugging the engine.
it is possible to just let off the clutch w/ this tranny and it won't stall, however. in L, you can drop that clutch as fast as you want and it shouldn't stall. in 1st, you may have to come off of it kind of slowly, but it should be pretty easy to pick up.Avery4jc said:True, I am "learning" to drive my dad's 300zx thats a stick.

i am so good @ it im trying to drive with out the clutch, every time i stop i turn off the engine put it in L and start it its cool, all it does is just roll and i give is gas and go into 1st and then i lose it from there. i had a tough time taking off on agles like @ bridges and hills but after a year and a half i got it!!!! dont worry youll get it too!!

When you smash yer knuckles into the dash that's how you know it's in third...and if you have a bench seat fourth is where the shifter is stuffed into the seat. I'm pretty sure you'll need to open the passenger window to access reverse...
465's are great tranny's, but they're also well known for having one of the sloppiest shift patterns ever.

which reminds me.... is there anyway to reduce the play in the shift rod so it doesn't shake around quite so much. seems like the it's got .5" to 1" radial play, which looks super crazy when you're bumping over some rocks and it looks like your tranny's about to fall outta the truck!

I just did it to mine and got the welds on the ball a little and it messed the shifting up, had to grind it down a little.
It didn't feel any different
