No, manual transmissions aren't popular or easy to come by in the U.S., but I'm sure you could rent one.

(Also, for what it's worth, I haven't driven a clutch in almost 30 years and I would have to totally relearn it. I was barely able to do it then.)

I started to learn to drive on a standard. My mother was so worried I'd strip the gears she paid for lessons. I haven't driven a standard since. - Covington Apr 4, 16:35 3
- I learned in a '58 Holden (Australian Chevy) with a stick shift on the steering column. In the '70s I drove a manual Corvair. - Meg Apr 4, 16:42 2
