I learned on my parents' Honda Accord... took me about 1/2 hour to get it right. Every car is going to have a different friction point, so driving a new one might take some getting used to. The Honda's friction point was very low, almost down to the floor. My mom also had a 79' Porsche 924, and that thing had a high friction point, and a very heavy clutch. Audi/VW clutches are pretty easy to learn on for a first-timer. Now, if I can only get my gf to learn how to drive a stick.

 

Getting your GF to try to learn stick = pain in the ***...

I had a friend who was so bad at stick, she had to sell the Eclipse her parents bought her. Her parents got her a stick car thinking it'd help her driving, but she stalled that b*tch in intersections.. it was embarrassing.

Haha... At least shes in an Auto now

 

Heh... my gf is the one who taught ME how to drive a stick...

We went out to her car one night, she threw her key at me and said, "You drive." I responded in shock, "I've never driven a stick before..." She told me, "I know... you'll learn, it will be funny."

I learned... she laughed at me a few times, and when I bought my next car (my A4) I would only consider one with a stick.

Thanks Emily...

i learned on a 64' corvette its either all or nothing there......also if you think the audi is hard you should try a jeep with an off road clutch and 4.88 gears talk about fun

 

You're just trying to get us to say, "she coyuld drive a stick well, if you know what I mean." arent you.

This reminds me of how my aunt learned on a Porsche. She sat in the passenger seat and got the gear shifts down while my uncle worked the clutch, then she eventually learned the clutch. I think I would be to scared to learn on a Porsche.

And I still need to teach my G/F how to drive a stick

 

it is death. i'll vouch for that too. my buddy has one. oh and cab, about the shifting from the passenger's seat, i do that all the time for friends that are multitasking in the car, it's funny

 

I learned on my buddy's 240sx that had a clutch that was definitely going out. It slips like no other but made for an easy learning experience. Then I honed those skills on a pos '87 Toyota Pickup. That thing is a b**ch to drive. And as far as teaching your gfs to drive, I definitely feel you guys on that one.... I get to to that this Saturday. On the crappy *** pickup of course...It'll be a long weekend needing a lot of beers..

 

i learned how to drive stick onmy buddies dad'sFORD FESTIVA!!! this thing was awesome..lol the shifter was like a foot long. i learned on this thing 8 years ago.. oh the memories...
