Curious...question for you and anyone else that mightve tired of manuals over the years...

Did you push the clutch in at stop lights and hold it? I always engine brake at least one gear, then coast and slap it in neutral. I have an infinitesimal leak somewhere again in my clutch line (I thought imports were reliable?!) so I couldnt if I wanted to. Its not a fancy stiff clutch like the Poopra has, which is work (so worth it). Was it/is it work for you to push in your pressure plate?
