Learning to Drive Stick

[petronius]

I have taught my grandson recently and the only difference was with a 92 dakota 5 speed I had him start off practising the clutch routine in 3rd gear. It made for a lot easier transition from full stop to moving and the “touch” needed to not stall makes them more concious of how sensitive the clutch can be while not rattling the teeth of the instructor. The speed with which they catch on this way, I believe negates any clutch wear from the slow release. A week after I taught my grandson he showed my nephew and nobody got killed and it was a quick transition for both.
