Since there are disadvantages in switching, anyone knows the reason why do some people recommend that we switch to neutral when we are going to stop for more than a minute?

Haha...I also feel some vibrations when stopping in D and less in N...But not alot...

On the other hand, when auto cars put on D constantly when vehicle is stopped, it may have more wearing at the clutch plate. You will know that your clutch plate worn out when you are at a slope and you release your brakes when on D, and the car rolls downwards.

Hope this is helpful.

Thats what I heard regarding the clutch to...Now quite ensure which is the 'less damaging' way...Haizz...

Manual one, don't need to say.. confirm can.

Hello.. I also heard alot of stories about auto cars don't keep on engaging neutral gears during stops. This is my practice in the past. I do not engage any gears change during stops and keep with the D gear but recently starting to engage N gear during traffic light stops. I don't think it would affect anything but I don't change to N gear while the car is still moving cause I think that would kill the gear box. I think it's okay to change gears when the car has completely stopped so no worries.. If really so easily spoil then next time buy manual car loh lolx..
