69bossnine- thanks for the long response but I don't have the luxury of teaching her on a truck on a dirt road. The only stick we have is in the 997, and I'm not about to go out and buy another car to teach her. The class I find provides a Honda Civic for the 2 hour training. I figure she'll get the worst out on the Civic and then we can move to the 997. What do you all think? I don't have many options here and the bottom line is- if she doesn't learn I'll have to let the car go!!!
