Stopping in a manual car question

Hey all I need something to be clarified for me regarding stopping in a manual transmission and my my feet are doing.
Now here is the scenario
>I see a light coming up
>Lets say I am in 2nd or 3rd
>Foot off gas
>Light braking
>Right before the engine starts to die clutch/ shift into neutral and a light coast to stop.(not to be confused with coasting from the middle of the street)
>Now I can keep my foot on the brake and release clutch and just sit in neutral.
Here is my question
I want to put it in 1st but remained stopped at light to get ready for the go
Do I
>Keep foot on clutch
>Keep foot on brake
>Keep foot on clutch and brake
??
thanks for the help

just don't. i'm guessing you've just started driving stick? you'll get better at finding first.

if you insist on doing it, clutch and brake. but don't bother.

If you took your foot off the clutch in first you'd stall. Also just keep it in neutral at lights, shift to first when the crossways light turns red, or if you're farther back in the queue, when your light turns green.

You're going to get a shit load of different answers.

My personal preference is, coming to a stop - shift into neutral and slowly stop with the brakes. I don't touch the pedal unless I'm shifting. Pressing the clutch = wear on the clutch and the pressure plate, so I don't do it.

clutch and break I guess. there's lots of ways to do shit

It's alot easier to just do it and not think about it. That being said, if youre not on an incline and arent rolling back or forward without the brakes, you really don't need to use them when taking off.

just pop it into neutral, and use your breaks. when the light goes green, depress the clutch and select first gear. don't hold the clutch down, it will wear out your throw out bearing fast.

???? do you even have a driving licence? The question you ask is absolutely basic you need to know to pass a test.

Manual isn't mandatory everywhere you stupid fucking third worlder.Op's question is valid as anybody who has ever touched a manual transmission knows starting and stopping are the hardest parts. Fuck off. People like you make people hesitant to even bother driving manual.

This makes me wonder if the light changes while coasting in neutral.Can you shift into 1st while coasting?
