Just trying to start a line of conversation/debate here.  Heel-and toeing?  Double-clutching?  Rev-matching?  Down-shifting?  What pedal tap-dance techniques do you use?  How often do you need a new clutch?

A personal technique up for debate:  I decided that to shift out of gear into neutral just at the point when I lift the throttle and there's no pull or drag on the box would save me a push of the pedal if I'm coming up on a stop.  It slips right out if you time it right, and I can't think of any way it might hurt (it hasn't caused any problems yet).  Is there anything I'm overlooking?

Any gearbox questions, comments, tips welcome!
