45k clutch is going

IF at a stop, you have the car in gear and depress the clutch while waiting, it will polish the flywheel and eventually cause slipping and chatter. While stopped on an uphill, you ride the clutch to keep the car from rolling backwards will ruin a clutch. Many people think they know how to drive manual, but they make simple mistakes that cause premature failure.

so you saying holding the clutch down while in gear and riding the clutch are both bad, right?

I drive manuals but dont own one....

however when I do drive one.... when at a light I will take it out of gear and put the Hand brake on... then when I need to go I will put it in gear and slowly release the hand brake to prevent rolling back like a lot of people tend to do over here in this country

Holding the clutch down while in gear while waiting at a stop light will polish the fly wheel, if you do a lot of city driving. Later it will cause slippage and some times chatter. The slippage will seem like a clutch failure, but stopping the practice will most times remedy itself.

If you live in a hilly area and ride the clutch, you will wear out the clutch.

Both practices are bad.
