Ahhh, just read up on clutches and the life span......

"Basically, the less work you require your clutch to do, the longer it's likely to survive. Assuming you aren't a race car driver who has to make a lot of fancy gear changes in a hurry, or a truck driver hauling heavy rigs over mountain ranges where gravity is going to put a lot of pressure on your transmission, there are a few dos and don'ts that will help your clutch survive.

Don't use the clutch when you don't need to. When you pull up to a traffic light and expect to sit for more than 10 seconds, don't use the clutch as a way of making the car stand still. Instead, take your car out of gear, put your foot on the brake and let your transmission rest in neutral until the light is ready to change. That'll give your clutch a well-needed break instead of keeping constant pressure on it.

Even more importantly, don't ride the clutch pedal as a way of controlling the speed of your car. That's what the accelerator and brakes are for. Yes, you can cause your clutch to slow down and speed up by modulating the pedal between the fully depressed and fully released positions, but this can take years off your clutch's lifetime. In general, you want your clutch pedal either all the way up or all the way down. Don't keep it in the in-between position any longer than you have to."



How about coasting straight road in neutral while clutch pressed down?

Very true. Bet you didnt expect to have an mps as modded as you have now. Have you perfected launches yet?

I'm still waiting for my ELM327 to arrive, if it's stock (which probably is because 2nd gear didn't give me boost on high revs) I'll keep it stock and save up for VVT and ZZB in case.
