Teaching my G/F to drive stick

So i think im gonna swallow my pride and teach my G/F how to drive my car. i know some of you will think the idea is insane but it will really do me alot of good if she knows how to drive my car. but my main question is, is stalling out repeatedly bad for my car. my clutch is in really good shape cuz i didnt fuck it up to much learning to drive stick, so hopefully she wont do to much damage to it.

lol teaching girls how to drive stick requires lots of patience, the best way to get them (or anyone) started is to be on a flat ground, put it in first, and get the car moving without using the gas, this way you'll learn the feel of the clutch pedal well and know exactly where it engages. Thats how a guy at the honda dealer taught me, and sometimes the way other people were explaining it just didnt help much.

keep trying to get her to punch it since she does it so well. i told her to drop it from 5th to 2nd and rev up a lil bit and dump it....but she wouldnt. i was drunk....and this bike was reving as us.
