Yes, you just need to learn how to drive stick first. You don't need to get any special license or anything...

Absolutely!

Your driver license allows you to drive any car/truck under 26,000lbs. It doesn't matter if it is automatic or manual, as long as you know how to drive it.

Not in the UK - You need to take a manual test if you want to drive a manual legally.

depends where you from - i am surprised so many people saying yes (guess thats in america)
in australia you cant - you have to get a manual license to drive both but if you have an auto license you can only drive auto !

I dont know, can you? Legally yes you can provided that you know how to drive a stickshift.
