Correct way to stop using M/T?

Ako kasi I use the nakaneutral ako pag maluwag ang road at pag hindi downhill. Different style's din ginagamit ko depende sa situations. I tried searching the web. M<arami din akong nakitang mga styles.

how about overtaking? pano style nyo?

Basically you just want to balance between engine wear due to engine braking and brake wear due to braking.

Downshift ka then press on the gas, especially if you're cruising on 5th gear (overdrive). Once you've cleared the obstacle, upshift ka na ulit.

When the engine is about to lug or bog, step on the clutch. The procedure in the first post is correct.

Same with otep here.

Okay yung using the brakes and the gears in neutral, wag lang sa downhill slope.

Regarding the risk of going into neutral, for some drivers, there are certain situations where you will need to power out and away from danger in addition to braking, something that you won't be able to do if you're not in gear.

same here.. just downshift 1 to 2 gears depending on ur speed then upshift when cleared. higher rpm means more acceleration (but dont meet your redline ofcourse) so you can pass more quickly.

err..is it because instead of stopping mas lalao kang bibilis?

Same as most guys here...I step on brakes first then with right timing clutch then shift to neutral then handbrake. tapos.

Anybody peeps?

i agree.. wag ka tatapak sa accelerator when you're too slow at nasa high gear ka pa, nakakasira ng timing and totope makina. when i'm braking, lets say 120km/h then i have to stop the car, i step on the brakes then downshift from 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd gear while my right foot still stepping the brake gently.. more stopping power you'll get when braking and downshifting at the same time... try mo.
