its when you rest your foot over the clutch pedal, this causes the clutch to still be somewhat disengaged, causing wear on the clutch.

ive pretty much gotten used to driving my 5 speed now, it goes like clockwork, and its been a week and a half

 

does stalling do anything to the car? like have any bad effects on the engine or transmission or anything?

 

i have a question, is it bad for your engine or trans when you downshift instead of braking?

 

I'm no expert on this subject, but here's what I know. When launching, one should rev the engine moderately while releasing the clutch. You should be able to feel when the clutch begins to engage, at which point you rev further and release the clutch quickly. Heat builds up when the clutch is only partially engaged significantly lessening its life. I own a '96 cx, but I don't have an owner's manual for it yet. Can anyone tell me the recommended shifting parameters mentioned in the manual? Right now I just listen to the engine. I do up to 25 in 1st, 40 in 2nd, 60 in 3rd, 90 in 4th, and have had it up to 105 in 5th.
