Hey guys,
So I just bought my Ecoboost yesterday. It has the performance package and is a manual. Is this an okay car to learn stick on? I've driven stick a few times before but I'm not smooth yet. Today I drove about 40 miles in the car including the highway and I stalled a couple of times. I' not very smooth in shifting however and don't really know how to rev shift and getting from neutral to 1st and rolling is still kind of challenging. Am I hurting the clutch or engine or anything by stalling and not being smooth? Or should the car be fine? Also I can't find the HomeLink garage opener.. Is that only on the premium? Also I'm averaging only 17 mpg but apparently the fuel economy is off during the breaking period (~first 1000 miles) is that true? Also since im still in the breaking period what's the max that I should rev till?
Thanks guys
