Default Re: Manual 6th vs. 5th gear

Since the subject came up on down shifting, I'd be interested in thoughts/comments.

When coming to a (normal) stop, is it better to downshift, which would help slow the vehicle, or just go to neutral and use the brakes...???

I always thought going to neutral on a stop was better/smarter, as why wear on the clutch, which is an expensive fix/replacement, then wearing on the brakes.

I'd be interested in comments...

Thanx...
