Considering there's about 5 steps required in the shifting of a manual car, yes:That's... fast? :sly:
Step 1: Release gas pedal (the pedal furthest to the right) quickly
Step 2: press clutch pedal in (the pedal furthest to the left, your car may not have this feature)
Step 3: using your right hand, disengage the current gear and immediately engage the next desired gear (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6)
Step 4: Release the clutch (far left pedal) while simultaneously applying throttle (far right pedal) in such a way to perfectly time the meshing of metal gears spinning at several thousand RPM
Step 5: Fully engage the throttle to accelerate forward
Repeat as necessary to continue accelerating the car forward.
Again, your car may be different, featuring letters instead of numbers on the gear selector.
