When I still had a manual trans four wheel drive, I would take people to an offroad area or parking lot. In low range they're almost impossible to stall the engine and it gave people a chance to get the feel of releasing the clutch.


I taught my daughter in my Audi S4 and it survived. It was probably a bad idea, since she left the Jetta in my drive and I haven't seen the S4 since.


I probably wouldn't use my NSX, but if that's all you have available, you might try it. If your student is abusing the clutch too much after a couple tries, just call it off.


Also have them practice the sequence of using the clutch and shifting while you're sitting still with the engine off. People get overwhelmed trying to drive and using their feet and hands with the shifting. Use an empty parking lot or someplace without distractions so they can concentrate on learning.
