I know I'm opening up the gate on this one but iI'll ask anyways....

Does anyone know of a school that will teach individuals to drive manual transmissions? I'm not even talkin aggressive driving or anything...

I've got a friend tryin to buy a new Acura TL.... yea.. he's never driven stick and believed he could easily since he 'understood the concepts'. Sure enough.. never made it out of the parking lot of the dealership as the dealer pretty much said hell no. He'd really like to learn so I was teachin him, but after his first lesson i have decided to discontinue rather than risk damage to my tranny (he REALLY can't drive stick). What alternatives exist?

ONCE AGAIN -- THIS IS NOT ME. I was forutnate enough to learn on a pickup truck growin up.
