Well I tried this and on the glide I cutoff the engine too on a long striaght strip. I am not worried so much about the cutoff b/c my car has EPS and the brakes showed no sign that I could not stop fast enough. My issue is only with the restart. I pop the clutch and it starts. This can not be good for my or any car. I know if your battery is dead you can push start a manual. But I always heard it is bad on the starter. Any thoughts?
