Just curious as to how all of you with manuals shift when coming to a stop. Some put it in neutral and coast to the light or stop. Some downshift through the gears.

What do you do ???

I rev match as far down as 2nd then come to a stop. Im always in 1st when stopped, never in N.

 

IMO, brakes are cheaper then a tranny, im in neutral most of the time when comming to a stop.

 

The owners manual suggests putting the car into N when at a stop so the clutch doesnt get glazed over before engaging into 1st. And i down shift too but using the brakes is proabably a better idea.

 

I definitely agree with smartparts, new pads are a hell of alot cheaper than a new tranny...the longer your car is neutral the less wear and tear you put on your tranny Personally I drop it into N until I come to a stop.

 

I use my feet...

 

Yeah thats probably the best thing to do.
It saves the brakes and the clutch.

 

Turn the wheels, and hit the brakes. Come to a stop with the car perpendicular to the roadway. That's what I do.

 

smashing into the back of another car works really well also

 

 

hahah. Neutral is fine, like the manual says, less wear on clutch.

 

put it in reverse

 

^^ won't let you above 5 mph or something, but I like that idea!
