not more wear on the trans, but it can cause more wear on the clutch. Typically when people start out in 2cnd theres a longer engagement time.

hmm.. being a fairly new standard driver.. i thought for sure this would be bad for the car/trans... i do find the 1st-2nd shifting seems slow though when you shift smooth definately looks funny when 1st-2nd cars pass me when im driving smooth, then i stay in second for a few extra seconds and pass them into 3rd

downshift rev matching and using the clutch
So i have had my car for about 3 months now and it is a 6 spd mt...I drive it everysingle day(mostly freeway) and so far so good clutch feels strong,no slips or grinding gears,but I had a question.let's say I was going about 50 mph on a highway and I wanted to go to a stop because of a red light,when I down shift I rev match when I can but how am I supposed to rev match use the clutch and the break at the same time while coming to a hard stop? Is it better to just put it in neutral and brake? Because I am aware that letting the clutch(not using pushing the gas pedal) out slowly while downshifting is bad for your clutch because you are burning it.so what would be the correct procedure for coming to a hard stop at like 40-50 mph?
