Teaching someone to drive 6MT on the Z

Obviously better if she doesn't do that, but as long as it's at low speed, you won't do too much to the car. It's not good for your motor mounts

Obviously better if she doesn't do that, but as long as it's at low speed, you won't do too much to the car. It's not good for your motor mounts and transmission so limit it where possible. The clutch come up rather fast on this car, she needs to learn at which point it catches. Try letting her get the feel first, without the engine running. Then off to an open parking lot where all she focus on clutch feel and not hit anything. Practice with the bug. If she gets it right there, the Z will be a breeze,
