Stalling my car

Hey guys. I may be in the wrong section to post this, but I have a concern. I was stupid enough to let someone drive my car without any knowledge on how to drive a stick shift. They constantly stalled my car, and you all know how much that sucks. It wasn't just any ordinary stall, the car was shaking, bumping, moving back and forth. It was horrible. I just would like to know what can result from this constant stalling? Any transmission problems? Anything serious at all? Please let me know. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: Stalling my car

burning the clutch is about the worst case scenario

Motion sickness.

Basically if nothing broke while it was happening, you're fine. The only thing that would have been damaged (other than a burnt clutch) would have been a pretty obvious breakage.

Re: Stalling my car

If cars could talk all the automatics would probably be laughing hysterically when the stick shift came home "What the <bleep> happened to you?!?", most stick shift cars go through this short term "Learning period of the stupid human" and are fine, if you blew your clutch from this it was about to go anyway.

I went through this too when I was 17 and bought my first car, the fact that it was a car I could afford was all that mattered, never mind the fact that I had no idea how to drive a stick shift, I should have given all my friends Dramamine before I left the driveway.
