i've driven a handful of manuals with no guidance, albeit none of them for very long intervals. I'm just curious about a few things:

1) When coasting in any gear to maintain speed and shifting is not necessary due to RPMs, is it detrimental to take your foot off of the gas fully without engaging the clutch? I've noticed that when I do this (on other cars) when i need to get back on the gas - regardless of how smooth - it's jerky.

2) When decelerating, is it wearing on the clutch to downshift to decelerate? Is it more feasible to just put the transmission in neutral and brake to a stop?
