I'm a manual aficionado, but my mother hasn't driven a stick, despite teaching all her children how to, since I was born due to her arthritis. Apparently her knees don't like having to clutch constantly. I'd rather have her mobile and active as she is now, than have her stuck at home reliant on my dad to give her rides.

As someone with a manual and bad knees, I feel for your mom. One day I’ll probably have to do the same, thankfully that day hasn’t come yet.
