Being pretty melodramatic, aren't you??  ;-)

Can't see where he would do anything to the tranny. At worst, he slips the
clutch too much a few times. The good thing is that SHOs are pretty easy to
get moving without a lot of clutch play.

The car has probably seen worse.....it's just that you didn't know about
it!! ;-)

My youngest daughter is trying to teach her boyfriend to drive my '93MTX!
This guy is from NYC, although a graduate of Colgate University, has never
driven before!

I am very afraid that both the clutch and tranny will be trashed during this
escapade!  I know the thing isn't worth much with 279k on the clock, but how
can I stop this tragedy?

"double clutch"  it's good for both you and your SHO
