Taught my daughter stick on the Boxster S. Not a big deal. It was actually perfect for teaching her to pull away in first gear. If you let out the clutch slowly you can get the car car moving smoothly without giving it gas.

Hous hold with four cars and just one automatic. We are a house of driver’s so everyone knows how to drive a stick.

Maybe it's not a big deal then. Closed huge parking lot and typical exercises for a few hours shouldn't destroy the clutch? I'm probably getting the IMS done anyways when I first get it, along with clutch , so I guess we should be ok if we get her started prior to that work being done.

That scenario will probably be OK. The destructive time is when she gets to a hill with a light + traffic. Inevitably she will have to slip the clutch. Porsche clutches are not the most robust to begin with.
