I learned to drive on an automatic, but my first car of my own was a stick.
They have a cure for those shift lights. It's called a screwdriver. You can pop the dash plastic up a bit, then jam the screwdriver where the light was real hard, and all of a sudden, it's dead.
The correct instrument to watch for when to shift (if you need one) is the RPM gauge, but fer chrissakes, anyone who drives a shift learns to feel it. This is only an accomplishment along the lines of learning to budget or plan a vacation itinerary for yourself.
It's sad that LKH is so sheltered she thinks every mundanity of her every day life is worth bragging about.
