Just you and her in the car, no other distractions.

After the parking lot bucking bronco ride smoothens out, let her ouf
of the corral.

Take her on your best, local country road, where you have the
flexibility to go thru all the gears: up and down. Make a circuit out
of it, so you can have her do that stretch 10 times or so over and
over, all the time moitoring her action.

The sooner she gets comfortable with the stick, the sooner she won't
be a concern when she goes out on the hiway. Make her laugh.
