Hmm. I'm not sure I get what you are saying.
In a manual you dip the clutch to select neutral only as you simultaneously pull to a stop in order that you can then release the clutch pedal while stopped on the brake.
Dipping the clutch whilst in gear is not neutral.
In a manual dipping the clutch and coasting whilst in gear is a bad technique and will fail your driving test in the UK for loss of control of vehicle.
In anycase in a DCT you just pull to a stop in gear and the clutches disengage for you as required to allow you to stop in gear. You can knock the gear selector into neutral if you like and use the handbrake if it's a long wait. Otherwise just stop on the footbrake in D.
A torque convertor auto will just drag the torque convertor, all normal.
Am I missing something?
