proper manual trans. method at stop
I copied the following quote from a Wash. Post forum conducted by a mechanic. Is this sound mechanical reasoning? or has anyone input to back-up or refute the advice?
"To minimize wear on the transmission it should remain in gear (first gear) with the clutch pedal held to the floor. This will add slightly to the wear on the clutch release (throw out) bearing but save wear on the transmission. The transmission repair would usually cost it least 10 times what the release bearing repair would cost" |
