How TF does your car stop/start without your foot on the clutch? Just lurch forward into the car in front of you?
What happens when you’re in 4th and the car slows for traffic ahead down to say 20 mph? You’re going to have zero torque.

It does it when my foot has the clutch pushed. I spent yesterday in stop and go traffic on I-95. The engine shuts off when stopped with the clutch in. Let the clutch out and the engine starts up again.

Why would I ever be in fourth gear at 20 mph? That's just shifting up or down to second. I'm going to slow down for traffic on my own, not let the car decide. All that automatic stuff is getting turned off.
