Not stupid at all Drew ...both Mike and Jason are
correct..the best way to practice is slow and easy
when you are up shifting from 2nd to 3rd listen to
the engine speed right before the shift..once you make
the shift run in 3rd for about 10 seconds (you won't)
accelerate much) Then depress the clutch..at the same
time bring the engine rpms up to where they were
when you were in 2nd right before the up shift..
quickly release then depress the clutch and gently
nudge the shifter back to 2nd..DON'T FORCE IT...
a few minutes of this and you'll have it like an 18
wheeling pro...do the same for 3rd to 4th and back down

Good Luck BUD ...
