is it true that it hurts your engine's torque or whatever, if you have an automatic in Drive and you hold the brakes for a long time? since the engine is always trying to roll forward

 

no, if it was harmful, then don't you think they would have designed the auto tranny another way, lol

 

Yea, where did you hear, or get that idea from?

 

Sorry I can't elaborate because of the txt limit. With auto, put e-brake on before putting in park. (takes load off of engine/tranny) With manual, don't hold clutch in for too long.

 

once your throwout bearing starts rattling your habits will change... don't hold in the clutch for any more time than you have to.

 

^^?

 

My clutch started making a squeaking noise when I engage and disengage it lol.. Don't know if thats bad or not, but. I also noticed its starting to slip a little shifting into 2nd.

Also, well what I usually do at stoplights is, wait for the light to turn green then go [8D].

 

Lol Nice!!

What I usually do, is shift into neutral before a complete stop, and then just stay like that until its time to go! Good for gas mileage!!
