All you gotta do is put it in nuetral and push the clutch in and release. When the light turns green, you just slide it right into gear and everything is synched up already. If you are sitting there with your foot on the clutch, then in theory you are wearing the springs of the clutch out slightly faster. Doesn't make much of a difference- but also I just hate sitting there with my clutch pushed in. Anyway- just put it in nuetral and cycle the clutch once and you are good to go.

Not good.
So shifting to 1st directly isn't too bad afterall![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
