Like a lot of old country boys, I've driven LOTS of vehicles, with 3-on-the-tree.

We had a Stude car & truck with it. Also had Ford cars & trucks, as well as Chevy & GMC trucks. Also took driver ed in a big Ford, with it. I'd already been driving for over 10 years. But, taking driver ed made my insurance cheaper, for my Dad.

I still remember how the new drivers, especially the girls, would make the car jump & jerk & go dead, some much worse than others.

TJ also took driver ed in a stick Ford. So, she didn't have any problem at all driving 4-speed Muclecars, or the 1-ton car haulers we had. On the street, she didn't have any auto trans street vehicles from '75 thru 2005. Bought a floor shift auto trans '06 Tacoma, which she still has.

But, I've never driven a Pontiac with a tree stick, and have never even seen one, that I remember.
