Anyone else find it difficult driving auto after learning on a manual gearbox?

I drove one for first time recently and thought it'd be ez and tbf for the urban driving parts it was, fricking hate shifting from first to second and back to first in 30 sec. Also probably saved me on some really steep climbs, I've never driven on roads that narrow and steep before, I'd probably have gone all 20-30km like that on first gear. But instinctually I was treating the brake like the clutch which when combined with even light touch on accelerator would make the car jerk violently. Finally decided to use my right foot for both to avoid that but braking still felt a lot rougher without clutch and my leg still aches two days later.

were you using the left foot to brake driving a manual?

Clutch, I press both clutch and brake to slow down so that's what I kept doing.

i've only used the left foot for the clutch so that would be so awkward lol

the idea is to use the right foot for both so you dont brake and accelerate at the same time? :marseyhmm: the way you're doing it sounds like you'll need a lot more coordination
