I explained the all the juggling involved but I figured the best way was to let her shift the gear knob while I handled the clutch & gas. Since she couldn't see the tach, she learned to 'hear' engine revs & the 'feel' or 'catch' of the clutch. She 'instinctly' shifts to neutral @ coasting & stops, downshifts + upshifts @ taking corners, & finds reverse when we leave parking spots. When we finally let her take the wheel for her permit, she easily 'got' it.
Most of the cars she has bought for herself has been MT's.

Why do you shift into neutral while cornering?
