If th clutch is fully disengaged, it does not wear
out. Wearing it out happens when it is PARTIALLY engaged - revving your engine and easing the clutch out will burn it out quickly.
But just holding the clutch down at a stop light doesn't add AT ALL to wear and tear...

Of course. Downshifting is normal shifting.

Don't downshift w/ high rpms. Fun, but will wear
