Sure if the want to learn on it. its the only manual in the family. I taught my daughter on Patty's 1984 Tempo, Was a 5 speed.

Tried to teach Kyle on my 1991 F150 but his only comment was "I was stupid for buying it because no one can drive it." I drove it for 16 years without problems. LOL

I learned on a 1951 Ford Custom with a 3 on the tree and a flathead 8. That was 1963.
