I taught 3 high school age daughters to drive in manual tranny cars (2 in 914's and 1 in an MR2). I taught my wife at age 45 to drive a manual in a Nissan Hardbody. None of them ever did any noticeable damage to any of those vehicles.
Unless you repeatedly pull off in a gear other than 1st, or continously ride the clutch, it would be difficult to wear out a clutch in such a short period of time.

I agree. I have never fried a clutch in such short order.
Even with zero experience, I find it hard to believe you can kill a clutch that quickly without noticing.
Did you smell something similar to burning carpet every time you got out of the car?
That's what I would expect if it was actually driver error.

How about a shot with
2 914's in it?
I taught my son & daughter in the BRZ and the son has driven the 914.
If you can learn to drive stick in a 914, then you can drive
ANY stick.
(for those who dont know: the stock 914 is rated as one of the worst shifting configurations
EVER)
