#1) As long as you're not holding the hill for oh, 5 minutes waiting for the light to turn green, this is fine. Minimal wear.
2) It's not really going to "hurt" the clutch for a long time doing this, but you're basically doing a jump start every time, just at a lower rpms. I'm sure Lance will chime in with more technical details, but it's causing the synchros to work a little bit harder right off the bat.
3) Very very bad boy. Stop completely before going into reverse. What you're doing is forcing aside the shift gate that keeps you from accidentally going into reverse while moving forward. It doesn't like that. You'll get the same effect if you back up, put it in neutral and then try to pop it back in reverse. Reverse should be best engaged if you're at a complete stop.
4) I don't think I've ever double clutched...so I'm probably causing wear on my clutch that way.
5) As I told ya...just wait 'til after the break in period to be in 5th at 2k. otherwise you'll have a little more wear on the engine, not the clutch.
6) Let's go driving...I'll see if I can point you into better shifn' techniques.
Clutches last a pretty long time, even with new people learning them. My first one in my first car lasted 10 years. and it was a toyota. And I learned on it. So you'll have to try real hard to fry your clutch.
