“That’s your problem. Starting off in high gear every time is murder on the clutch, you’ve got no torque multiplication from the trans.”

?...what I mean is, when I come to a stop light for example, I don’t sequence through the gears. I just put it in neutral, and use the brakes.

Yes, I was taught to drive a stick by an older British fellow in the 60s.

I can still remember him saying brake pads are cheap and easy, clutches much more difficult.
