In NY, if you take a driving test with a manual tranny, and you leave the
car in gear with your foot on the clutch at a light or stop sign, you
automatically fail. At least, that's how I remember it. In other states,
if you take it out of gear at a light or stop sign, you fail.....
This had nothing to do with the current conversation, but I thought I'd
mention it....

I guess we all do it, but I was always taught that holding the clutch pedal
down whilst waiting at the lights is what wrecks the release bearing.
One think I do know is that when you "creep" in first gear at slow speed in
traffic, slipping the clutch, this is exactly what cause a rib-case to jamb
in first gear.
