The day before - outside of the car - try and explain a little bit what and why cars have gears and a clutch..

- Reference a bicycle with gears. Going up hills, going fast, carrying a load..

- Reference how a clutch "connects and disconnects" the engine from the transmission.

- Remind her a car at idle turns about 500 RPM.



I won't help a bit. But you keep the high ground when she gets defensive and yells at you!
