Default Re: Tips for driving a manual in a crossfire

Coasting long distances with the clutch pedal depressed causes premature wear of the throwout bearing. As does sitting at traffic lights with the clutch depressed. You may think it's only for 30 seconds or less (on average). But it adds up.
I'm in neutral at nearly every traffic light. Actually, I'm in neutral practically everytime I'm not accelerating.
