I always leave the car in neutral while idling at a light no matter how long I sit as I feel the more life I can get out of the clutch linings the better. The less I need to use the clutch I figure I can get more miles out of the linings. That's were I was wondering if I could damage the transmission by taking it out of gear when coasting down to a light or just simply slowing down without using the clutch. I've actually been able to go through all the gears while in traffic without using the clutch but it seems a little hard on the transmission at times. It doesn't come out of gear without the clutch easily sometimes either.
I've never had the opportunity to ask this question to anyone before.
