I've always heard this wears out your clutch very fast- if you're going to stop, put it in neutral.
That seems to be everyone else's advice in this thread so far up until that guy, so now I'm confused.
Does anyone know for sure? I don't know very well how a transmission works mechanically, I'm just going by what I was always taught/read to do and not do.
On a sidenote, I've also heard one shouldn't go into first gear unless the car is stopped or very close to stopped, and that it's bad for the tranny to shift into first while going, say, 20mph. Is this true?
