Pushing clutch in = free ... Replacing clutch = lots of $$$

Default To do it you have to be in the lower rpms right above 3K rpms. Not exactly where I want to be
shifting gears.

Default half the time....
I sometimes let the car pop into nuetral when deaccelerating. Doesn't hurt the tranny any as long as you do it right.

Default Its called floating and wont hurt a thing, keeps clutch from wear
you dont use the clutch to change gears in a truck, it wont hurt anything, it will actually save wear on the clutch itself

You don't use the clutch to change gears in a truck because those trannies work differently
