Hmmm I'm confused. All the manual gear boxed cars i've driven can simply be put into and left in neutral. When you turn the engine over, there is no need to then depress the clutch.

Am I missing something else?

Bad Nick - I like your idea for getting used to the 'bite' on the clutch. I think I must have done something similar when I was learning.

Keep up the good work.
