Going into neutral at a light.
I do it too since it's a pain to go in and out and in and out of neutral on a hill but whenever I see someone doing it on a flat road, I get the urge to give them a dirty look....
I'm pretty sure anyone who actually cares that you're driving stick knows that MS3s only come in stick.

But once it does release the brake after that initial release I can roll back and forth 'til the cows come home!

IIRC, letting your car going into neutral will turn your car into an idle state, which would waste more gas, than if you were to stay in gear and letting go of the pedal. I only say this because my AEM A/F ratio reads at "---" while I keep the car in gear while coming to a stop, meaning there's no gas being injected through (lean, with just air). But while I'm in neutral, it would toss in the car into idle, and my A/F ratio stays at 14.5-14.7, meaning it's tossing fuel in the engine (obviously, so it will not stall).
I'm sure it wouldn't make a dent in actual MPG, but if you were to go down a LONG hill, I would suggest to keep your car in gear and let it roll down. Instead of tossing it in neutral, where you would be wasting gas.
So all that.. "going into neutral trash while coming to a stop will save you gas" business, is a bunch of horse

dumbass, know your facts before you tap your gay fingers on the keyboard.
I haven't been repairing cars for 20 years for nothing.

By the way, read your own links.
I'd be nervous if you had "repaired" one of my cars in the past.
Ray: Used correctly, the throw-out bearing will last much longer than the clutch disc. But if you sit at red lights with your foot on the clutch pedal all the time, you can wear out the throw-out bearing before you wear out your clutch disc. And because that's an entirely preventable condition, we call that clutch murder in the second degree.

In my Mini it has that feature where when the clutch is engaged and it senses that i'm on a hill, it will hold the brake for 2 seconds to insure I don't roll back.
But once it does release the brake after that initial release I can roll back and forth 'til the cows come home!

NOT the clutch itself.
Yes, you're still wrong. Thanks for admitting to it.
Now if you can work on your politeness, we'd be A-OK.

What rock did you crawl out from under? Find your way back under it.

You came...made a post simply saying false. Nothing else offered until he came in and said it had been discussed and rectified already. Then, you had to keep posting like a little know it all.
Yeah, you're at fault.
