## Resource

Your manual car’s lifespan is slipping away — quietly — because of tiny, everyday habits. The RAC reveals how leaving your car in gear at traffic lights, resting your hand on the gear stick, or using the clutch to hold on hills are secretly wearing down your clutch and gearbox. Simple fixes like shifting to neutral with the handbrake, removing your hand from the gear lever, and using hill-hold assist can save you hundreds in repairs. Mind your mechanics — your car will thank you. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
