If your niece has been driving for a little while already, but on
an automatic, I think it is going to be very difficult to teach her how to
drive a manual gearbox correctly.
Tim,
I do not understand your reasoning. We when through this a couple of years
ago, teaching my son to drive my daily driver Miata. My wife and I decided we
wanted him to have some experience driving before we added shifting gears etc.
There were some ups and downs and I think I will do a better job with his
sister next year.
The one suggestion I would have is to find a level paved area and have them
pull away from a stop without using the throttle. That will teach them where
the sweet spot on the clutch is.
