What about the most obvious one of don't shift gears without first disengaging the clutch.

I'm actually surprized that a lot of people don't know about starting up steep hills and ramps using the handbrake.
I know about that technique, use it a lot of times, and i don't even drive manual stick.

^Great save! This dysfunctional forum just got interesting again.
 But on a serious note, I actually did have the bad habit of resting my hand on the shifter on the old Yaris, but fortunately no noticeable wear within the gearbox as a result. An armrest has helped plenty in the xD in more ways than one it seems.

I even wrote a small into to the video before clicking on it and who posted it. You actually think I would spend time to type in all that just to get someone to click on something?

The original clutch in my 2000 Accord was still working fine at 200K when I sold it, even though I always left it in first gear and clutch depressed at every stoplight/etc over 15 years of driving. I guess that I had a really well-built clutch in that car.
