depends on how much gas they gave it while letting the clutch out. High rpms will put heat checks in your pp an fw.
The hardest part of learning to drive stick is starting out from a dead stop. When I teach people, I take them to a big parking lot, like a high school lot. Then I have them repeat stop and starts for about a half hour or until they are comfortable with it. Then I teach start from a dead stop, shift to second, and back down to a stop. After that, learning a gate is easy. You may want to just take them to a video arcade and have them practice on a game with three pedals and seated. Good luck.

Castrellon you better resize your sig before mods see and fix it for you.......yours is waaay too big.

And to answer the question yes it can kill your clutch cuz people usually slip it a ton while raising the rpms to like 4-5k.
