Auto and Man tranny decelaration
Sup ya,
Have you guys noticed btwn a Auto and Man tranny. When come to delcelarate, its looks like the manual decel faster and stop quicker. Even you not downshifting, if you just apply your brake and entire eng rpm just drop. Where in auto, it just wanted go and go.
if you guys have(most of you do) cat back sys and when down shift or just let off the accelarate pedal, you get the bloop,bloop,bloop rumbling sound
With auto tranny ,cant get any of that. Okay enuf...thanks

I usually dont disengage my clutch till I almost stop. I know most of ppl just put in neutral and let is coast. And most of time I dwn shft to stop. I heard with this way, your engine is hurting more.
I know some big rig, they have this brake sys called the Jake Brake. My buddy was telling me about it. The jake brake, use engine to brake. Ok enuf.

its becuz in a manual , u control the gas and everything so that when u let off the gas, you pretty much cut most gas flow and drastically slow down the engine or let rpm's drop. as with an auto, the computer tells the engine to give more gas and this is why an auto car can float while in gear. another reason why a manual gets better gas mileage.

Downshifting is a bad idea. A brake job is cheap whereas a clutch job is expensive. Save yourself the money and use the brakes instead of downshifting.

Manual Transmission and braking
I have a 94 Accord, 5 sp manual and always downshift. I have about 240,000 and still the orginal back brakes. No work on the clutch or engine at this point. So I don'th think downshifting is bad, at least not for me.
