It would be nice to have someone teach you in a beater.
If not its not the worst idea to just hop aborad and learn by yourself...
Just as a few other members were explaining. My 16th birthday I awoke to a shiny new GSR integra... I refused to wait for my father to get off work and learned in half a day. Honestly, once you get the timing when to release the clutch you are good, and everything should come naturally.. Down shift/ rev match / Heel toe / peel out etc......

Another thing my old high school auto shop instructor once told me; It will take you the same amount of effort and time to learn manual as it did to learn to tie your shoes as a child. Quite frankly it seems as though it is pretty accurate!

Good luck, and enjoy the throw of the C5!
