OK, forgive my lameness...
Could long term owners please advise us newbie GS owners (there are a few on here at moment) how to drive the car in stop start traffic to reduce clutch wear. Today I got stuck in slow traffic for first time and Im sure it was a bit clunky from N to 1 from standstill (or could that have been linkage problem). Once going its A1, but the stop start wasn't nice experience. I made sure I was in N when not moving - not sure if thats right or not?
I could also smell a bit of smoke after this drive when I got home - though this might be remnants of oil from my PS radiator change on the main rad blowing through onto the engine.
Please also advise on incline Up/down driving slowly and reversing up and down hill. You hear stories like "Just don't reverse a Lamborghini up hill"..
Thanks!
