[QUOTE="Klikoo, post: 1444251, member: 97860"] You should never downshift at a high speed, so never from 4 back to 1 at 4000 rpm. Engine braking is really just drifting and not downshifting and releasing clutch. It is the clutch that then absorbs the blow and therefore wears unnecessarily. I make sure that the normal speed is on average correct for the speed you are driving. If I still want to switch back once, then I give a little intermediate gas so that the speed is somewhat ovcereent with the speed. The clutch will not slip. And completely downshifting before stopping, I do when he is still driving at a walking pace, goes flawlessly. [/QUOTE]
