It's a piece of cake. Don't know when I'd be available though, but I've taught many to drive stick.

I doubt you would want to learn on a C3 car. The C5 clutch is a lot smoother. The same principal is there though. It is pretty easy. Press right foot to the floor and sidestep the left foot. It is a little violent but will get you going in a hurry.

Just bring Lynn's car over when he leaves town and I would be happy to teach you.. That way we can go clutch and fish shopping.

I took a couple of lessons during the summer & bought a 1981 Datsun 280zx to practice with.
It's not a junk car so you do have to take care but I can show you the basics... clutch & shifting coordination and getting into 1st gear without cutting off the engine is the toughie for a newbie.
I got stalled in traffic a few times during my 1st lesson but once I got the hang of that it, my 2nd lesson went pretty smooth.
If you want, you can practice in a nearby parking lot only, tho....not in traffic. I'm in Queens.
I Have a Corvette C3 transaction from Ebay being handled right now...(automatic
) but maybe you'll be able to hook me up with some local C3 folks if I need help with something in return.

. Will pay for gas and a new clutch. Best bet (if you can't find somone), borrow/rent a **** box 4-banger from someone. That is the easiest car to learn on.

Having a C3 locally would be really cool. Let us know when you have your C3 and we can all meet up and introduce ourselves.

Here's some tips for now
...press clutch, check car is in neutral....and then START car.
...always break/slow down IN GEAR
...never drive the car with your foot resting on the clutch
these are the really basic stuff that you need to know while learning.
