Someone is asking me a problem. He says following.. 'Every time you stop at a red light you CAN NOT forget to put the clutch down when you start slowing down. Otherwise it stalls. It doesn't idle at all without the clutch.' So, where is the problem when you can't idle without clutch? throughout bearing? |

You can idle at a red light without the clutch, you just have to make sure that it is out of gear. It is better to just use the clutch. |

Whoever told you this obviously doesn't know how to drive a manual transmission fully yet. You cannot stop a manual in gear like an automatic. A manual transmission has a direct connection to the motor whereas the an auto is a fluid connection and will slip the torque converter at a stop to keep the motor from stalling. |
