it was in a '91 900. He bought the car without knowing how to drive a stick, just as I did 20 years ago in my '71 Plymouth Duster.
In addition to all of the great things that have been mentioned here, also remember to:
1) Keep the radio off (too distracting)
2) Make him learn how to "listen" when to shift vs. watching the tach
3) Explain what the clutch and tranny are doing (Shifting 101)
4) Find a hill and get him used to holding the car on it without rolling
PATIENCE!!! Losing it with him will only make him not want to learn.
Good luck...
Joe
