gear shifting question


87GT

Recommended Posts

Betcha he downshifts because "compression braking extends brake pad life"...

 

I had an arguement with my fiancee about this. She was "taught" to slow down this way... I'm like what's more expensive...$25 brake pads...or a $1000+ transmission? lol.

 

Now when I'm fooling around I'll downshift before making turns..but I heel/toe and blip the throttle before I downshift and rev match it.
