Just curious what everyone thinks about engine braking. I have been doing it and am curious if its worth the stress on the engine, or should it rather be put on the brakes.

 

why would it? you engine brake everytime you let go of the gas in gear.

 

I down shift when stopping. My mechanic told me that it does wear on the tranny and clutch, but I shouldn't worry about it.

Though, if I am pulling up to a light with a cop right in front of me, I just use my brakes.

 

Lol. Should have used search feature =D. There has been so many convos on this subject.
