I turned off my SRM, I hate it. Every time I pull up to a light and put it in Neutral and move my shifter left/right I look like I'm showing off. I turned it off and never looked back..

Ya I just stopped moving the shifter back and forth. In 13 years of driving manual trans and moving the shifter back and forth, never once did I find that I failed to take the car out of gear. SRM gave me a reason to get out of the habit. When it's out of gear it's out of gear, looking back on it... To be constantly jerking the shifter back and forth just to keep on checking that it's out of gear and keep doing it the entire time I'm coasting as if it may have fallen back into gear somehow... It looks awfully OCD to me now lol

I discovered that I had left it in gear ONCE. I was very tired. It's going to be a VERY hard habit to break.
