[quote=Anonymous]I taught 2 neighborhood kids on the weekend once, but my manual VW is no longer around. So hard to order a stick shift around here, only Hondas on back order. I still remember my dad teaching me and explaining how the gears change before we got in the car. And also how to only shift after 3500 RPMs, but listen to the engine for when. Never be in too small/high a gear to not be fully in control of the vehicle ( accelerate /decelerate) go around an empty lot starting and fully stopping at every tree. starting is key. learn to hover on an incline. learn to go from 0 to 3rd gear+ on an incline. learn to downshift on turns. to stop signs. fun stuff. kid will be ready for EU or LatAm rental cars.
