When in drive wilst in first at lights, the rear band is not on, but the one way clutch, the rear band is only on in low. Same goes for selecting neutral at lights. Great way to put unessasary pressure and wear on the front clutch when engaging drive again. So leave in drive at all times and let the converter do it's work. Also don't stall the car up, overheats the oil in the converter and substancially reduces the oil life, therfore also the transmission life. Some useless facts for a sunday night.
