Sorry if it seems like dumb question, I did google it but it makes 0 sense to me. I’m only just getting into cars and someone mentioned something called shift assist.
The message they sent for context if that helps:
> Well driving standard now is way easier than when I was younger lol apparently they have shift assist so you don’t stall as easily or something like that
Edit: thank you everyone for all the answers! As a baby car enthusiast, I really appreciate and am enjoying the variety of answers I’ve gotten. I’ve learnt a lot already and it hasn’t even been 24 hours.

I just wanted to to give more context about my knowledge. Or rather lack of lmao
I don’t drive manual yet. My boyfriend is going to start teaching me when I’m at his place on the weekends. So I don’t have a clue about anything. All I know is you have to balance clutch and gas when shifting, shift between 2,500-3,000 rpm, and I’ve started getting good at calling shift when my bf upshifts (always call it too early on a downshift).
I do drive my automatic in sport mode a lot (99% of the time) but I know/have been told that’s nothing like driving true standard. Either way shifting up or down has become second nature/automatic when driving sport/manual mode (some cars call it manual) I don’t even think about it anymore. I don’t even go by sound since I listen to music when I’m driving.
