1. First is when gliding to a stop. Let's say 300m to the stoplight and I am in 4th gear. Kailangan ba kapag foot off the gas na dapat i-neutral na agad then break break na lang or stay on your gear and foot off the gas then break break tapos kapag malapit na magstop dun lang magcclutch tapos neutral?
Gradually depress the brake pedal. Tapos, when your car is already going slow, get a feel of the engine. Pag sa tingin mo mamamatayan ka na, then hit the clutch.

Depende kung gaano ka kabilis o bagal. Kailangan mo mag downshift to a gear that matches your car's speed. The right speed varies depending on what car you're driving. So at 10-20kph, 2nd gear nga yon. Baka pwede makuha sa 3rd gear.

When you're going down a long incline (e.g. doon sa JVargas pababa or going down from Antipolo or Baguio), keep in the appropriate gear to match the desired speed.

Pero when you're in 1st gear, then most likely you're driving slow on a short incline (SM Parking?) In that case, okay lang to keep hitting the clutch para hindi mamatayan ng engine. Or kung very short distance like mall parkings, just go neutral.
