My son burned up the clutch in my 89 ford ranger (2.9) within 2 months of driving it to high school. I had him help me replace it and then I drove with him a few times to teach him how to use it. He was driving around with his foot resting on the clutch pedal and would often take off from a stop with the pedal slightly depressed.
I showed him a video on how manual transmissions worked along with the clutch and that helped him better visualize what he was doing with his foot and the gas pedal.
