I've heard it's bad to ride a clutch. I often hold down the clutch when coming to a stop, is this bad to do? Is it best to pop it in neutral when coming to a stop then go back to first when ready to go?

As long as it's all the way in, you're ok.

If th clutch is fully disengaged, it does not wear

Improper downshifting ruins the clutch.

I'd rather replace brakes than a clutch

Any shifting of gears wears down your clutch

Of course. Downshifting is normal shifting.

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