One of our cars is a manual, and I'm the only one who can drive stick.

I have been with my wife since 2009 and I have still never been able to convince her to learn how to a drive manual transmission.

My GF wants to learn stick, but I just replaced the clutch and don't want her to shred it. Plus my car tends to flood if I stall it more than three times much so the sessions will be... short.

I'd love to find a manual transmission truck for her to practice on but those are getting fewer and fewer.

I learned to drive stick on a 15 year old clutch and it only gave out about a year after my parents sold it. YMMV.
