Typically when people downshift coming to a stop they don't rev match and let the clutch spin the engine up to speed through a bunch of clutch slip. Doing this on a regular basis over time won't wreck your transmission but it will wear out the clutch sooner.
The only time you should worry about engine braking is when you're trying to gradually slow the car without locking the wheels, like on ice.
For uh, "performance driving" into a turn you should brake, downshift, turn in, accelerate. If you want to be smoother then double heel-toe. Double clutch when you're downshifting like, on the highway or something.
Very good info!
Uh oh... you just mentioned some things that I bet some of these members will try *double clutch unsuccessfully*
