[TR] Learning to drive a TR

[Chip19474 at aol.com]

Pat,
 
Several years ago when I still had my '70 Spit Mk3, I taught  our youngest 
daughter how to use a manual trans on that car.  It  really wasn't as 
gruesome as I expected!!!  
 
She had been driving for a few years (Honda Civic auto trans) but wanted to 
 learn manual because her boyfriend (now husband) had a Scion coupe 5  
speed.  I guess it was less stressful to their relationship if I taught her  on 
the Spit!  She was very attentive to the finer points of learning  manual 
shifting....don't ride the clutch, don't dump the clutch, etc.....younger  
people learn very well.....now, when I tried to teach my wife on our old MGB  
many years ago, that didn't end well (we are still married:)
