just teach her, in all honesty its not that big of a deal for the clutch, plus you can always tell her it has to be properly broken in, and keep making excuses if you choose that route once you have it

Tit for tat, she lets you order it, you teach her how to drive it. Pretty straight forward.

Get a new wife..
No way could I tell my hubby that he couldn't drive his new car that he has been waiting for..

On the other hand..You could teach her to drive the stick in about 15 minutes..That way you can keep the car and the wife..

Rent a car with a manual transmission and teach her on that. You'll both win, she gets taught, and you don't have to grimace at her tearing up your brand new tranny.

Gotta agree with that one! 13 years... wife still doesn't (can't) drive a clutch. You might think about letting someone else teach her... this thing can cause undo pressures on a marriage!!
