@Frost: I'll pull up some pics
But in the end when she's done. I would much rather burn up a older less expensive clutch than a newer one when it's obviously going to be out of pocket expense. That's your decision and money.
I hope she learns. practice practice practice.

I'm just not convinced that stalling out will really burn up the clutch. Again, as long as it's at normal speeds.

She's definitely gotten better already, just by switching to the Z. I may have her go back to the Bug for a bit, as it may have been practice and not the Z's clutch that helped her improve.

She made it out onto a real road yesterday (instead of my subdivision's road around 10pm) and did well. No hills, but traffic lights and stop signs.
