when i come to a light should i put it in nuetral, because right now i just push down on the clutch and the brake, but i was wondering if thats bad or not
I got into the habit of putting mine in nuetrel (unless it's just for a really brief stop), just because when you are holding the clutch in, the throwout bearing is always spinning like others said, but also because when you let the clutch out while in nuetral, it allows all the gears to spin inside the tranny's case so they will constantly slosh around in the oil, and be well lubricated for when you engage gears and take off. If your sitting there with the clutch pushed in, all tranny gear movement stops, and you allow a chance for all the gaer oil to drizzle back down to the bottom of the case, making some of the bearings, sycros, and gears get 'dry'.
second question is what exactly is burning the clutch? lol...i know it prolly sounds stupid, but like i said first stick
It's when you slip the clutch for too long, like when some people do when sitting on a steep hill waiting for the traffic light to turn green, and they are just using the clutch (halfway out) to hold them from rolling back when they should be using the brakes, and so they are hence: 'cooking the clutch' as can even be smelled sometimes.
