Same boat

I have never driven a car with manual tranny before myself. But I do have two motorcycles (07 V-Star 1300 & 99 V-Max) and they are obviously manual tranny machines.

Will I have a hard time adjusting or getting the hang of a manual on a car? I understand "feathering" of the clutch, downshifting, etc. But the clutch on most MCs is a wet sump and can be abused, how different are the car clutches? I am not really nervous as I will learn on a beater first before I get my 2SS, although the hills have me thinking.
