I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions too. I've been driving stick for most of my adult life, but I never had any official driving lessons so I have no idea what "best practice" is either. For example what do you do when you come to a stop light on a hill? Do you always shift sequentially from 1-2-3-4 or is it okay to skip a gear, from 1-2-4, due to laziness? What do you do in stop and go traffic? Hold down the clutch for 15 min or keep switching between 1st, 2nd and neutral?
1. I do this too
2. What's wrong with downshifting just 1 gear on say, a wide left turn where you're not losing too much speed?
4. If I'm coming to a stop I usually just pop it into neutral and coast until I need to hit the brakes.
