Enduringexplorer. I think you are the one who inspired this poll when you posted somewhere else on FTE about holding the clutch disengaged at a light. You got me to thinking. Thanks.

A good driver uses many options, depending on the circumstances.
-And those are some old auto trannies - the ones that had a "Hill Holder" gear....
(No "OTHER" option, so I couldn't vote)

I love suprising people when my tank is empty and they can't pass me when it turns green I start off in fifth.

I did't see the Chinese Fire Drill. That's what I would've voted for!

I used to always go to neutral, because with my old DMFW I was gonna have to have a leg transplant if I kept trying to hold the thing in. Now that I've got the LuK solid mass unit, the clutch is so much nicer to get along with that sometimes I hold it in just because I can!!
