70Challrtse, Don't ever let them learn to drive a stick - It can be done. I have owned a 1985 Corvette since 1987 w/manual 4+3 trans and the girl friend still hasn't learned to drive a stick. I can give you my book of excuses/reasons.
Vanished, I think even at the age of your daughter (very cute) its too late. Just by the look on her face looking down at that pistol grip, Its too late. She is ready to grab hold of that shifter and bang those gears.
