A follow-up question on SMG...

When you come to a complete stop, do you downshift until you are in neutral just before coming to a complete halt? Or does the car just know you have stopped and so automatically hold the clutch disengaged? And then to start up again do you just hit the gas and click it into first?

I can imagine how up- and down-shifting works once you are in motion, but I can't quite figure out how the stop and start works?

Thanks, Jon.

So anyone have the answer? Does SMG go into neutral while at a stop or is it still in first with just the clutch engaged the whole time?
