17 YO, my dad gave me a 78 VW rabbit and provided me with about 5 minutes of instruction when I lived in Long Island.

Worn shifter bushings and it sometimes popped out of 3rd gear.

After a few hours in a parking lot I got it down pat and took it for a drive onto the BQE, one of the scariest moments of my life, thoughts in my mind were: don't panic, don't over rev on a downshift and be careful of the taxicabs.

Looking back I have never needed to replace a clutch in my 28 year driving history.

Looking forward to teaching my daughter how to drive a stick shift, might need some meds first....
