I’d like to try and teach my 21 year old millennial girl but she does not seem interested.

Maybe find one of those iFag Smartphone app things? They seem to relate to that stuff more than reality.

if they get taught how the mechanicals work in the tranny/clutch unit; they be better able to USE the shift lever.

At least most any shift they'd likely come across will NOT have straight cut gears!

(I'm sure a lot of us old coots learned how to shift gears with OUT using the clutch; right?)
