You need to start out teaching them in a way that they will actually learn the clutch engagement point, and that is best done at idle speed.

I'm taking your tips and the others in, so thanks. The idea of teaching is way more daunting to me than any mechanical abuse on the car.

I know it's a different foot, but Jeez!

I literally don't know if this will help or not, but I absolutely love that comparison.
