Is it possible to change a twist gear mountain bike to lever gears and if so how?
Scott8155
Sure.
There are two things that has to match, the number of gears, and the actuation ratio or the rear derailer. If the rear derailer is a Shimano, then it'll take a Shimano shifter no problem. If it is an SRAM derailer, then you have to figure out if it's the Shimano-compatible version or the 1:1 pull SRAM version. If it's long-pull SRAM, you'll need a long-pull SRAM shifter.
Once that's sorted out, unhook shifter cable at derailer. Pull grips off bar, loosen pinch screw(usually Allen head) slide twist shifter off. Slide trigger shifter on, tighten pinch bolt. Slide grips back on. Install shifter cable. Adjust shifting. Done!

How do you drive a manual transmission pocket bike?
There is a Left Hand Lever on the handlebars whick you can pull. That pulls on the clutch which allows you to change gears by kicking up a small lever a little bit forward on the left foot peg. To start off, you hold down the clutch lever, kick up the foot peg lever to 1st gear, slowly give it a little gas by twisted the throttle just a little bit, and then slowsly let go of the clutch hand lever. While riding, when you need to change gears, just hold down the hand lever, kick up to the next gear, and then you can let go of the hand lever. Hope this helps.
