If you really want to get technically, switching your tranny into neutral disengages your clutches, then you switch it into drive and slip the clutches until they engage, causing wear as minimal as it is. When you sit with your foot on the brake, clutches stay engaged as if your driving, no wear whatsoever. The Torque converter "slips" as it is desigened to do. You can "torque stall" your tranny all day at idle with next to no chance of overheat unless it's over 120 degress, where your biggest problem will be keeping your tires from melting. Keep tranny in gear, and foot on brake to show people behind you, you are stopped. If you don't like high intensity brake lights in your face, don't stop with your front bumper touching the car in front. nuff said
