Nice dolphin grey B7. Looks like my first Audi - dropped, tuned, test pipe, the whole deal.

As for the OPs question (previous manuals)
Always in gear
Parking brake with auto on inclines only. Too much pressure to put on the shifter pawl coming out of park with transmission in a bind.
Always jiggle
Never coast, always in appropriate gear for compression braking and so that I have immediate control if needed
Footbrake, neutral, clutch out. I even got in the habit of putting my last car with DSG in neutral at a light.

Thanks, though it's Quartz Gray, an A4. Still, love the S4, would love to trade up to one after its timing chain job is taken care of xD

You had a B7 as well?

yep, had 250k on the odometer when I let her go. Did 2 timing chains and countless fuel pump cam followers.
