Interesting. FinallyGotOne is telling us where and how to shift. OK, if you think I'm pointless here, let me make my minor correction to your thesis. Sitting at the stop light with the clutch in does NOT wear out the clutch. I'll let you figure what part does wear. But, there's a lot of life in one of those, too.

There was once upon a time when these didn't last forever and you could save some repair costs. But, today's average Miata driver will sit with the clutch in while in stop and go SoCal traffic and probably never wear it out.
