This is a habit I got years ago when I had a 1960 VW bug. When waiting at an intersection for the light to change, I would always have the transmission in neutral. Waiting with the car in gear, with the clutch pedal down would wear out the throw-out bearing which was actually a block of graphite. So, when waiting at the light, do most of you shift to neutral or put the transmission in first gear with the clutch pedal on the floor?
Cheers, Elliot
