...engine light came on? Could it just be a warning that I was being hard on it stalling, or bigger? My husband took over driving and it is shifting fine, no weird noises, running great, but engine light is on right as I stalled it. We have a diagnostic machine, should we just reset the light and see if it comes back on and/or look at the reading and take it very seriously. What do you think it will say? (friend is returning it tomorrow)
 
You should start by finding a MUCH older vehicle to use to LEARN to drive a stick shift. You don't want to DESTROY a brand new car.

Next you should actually READ the code that triggered the check engine light before you clear it. That way if it comes back, you can at least determine if you are getting the same code.
