How do u stop a manual tranmission car?

[Ithunk]

as above

[Ithunk]

do you brake in and clutch in together?

 

brake then clutch in? then release brake again?

 

or put to neutral then brake?

 

discuss...

 

i do the first as i find its the best for optimal fuel consumption

[Ithunk]

and i find that putting to neutral will consume more fuel....for the current vehicle...due to the engine needing fuel not to stall?

[MG_Myvi]

I'm doing the first option too. Understand from a few Car Owner Manual that it's not advisable to put neutral then brake....will cause wear n tear to dunno what.

Downshift to low gear and cruise to stop. Can see the FC meter showing 0L/100KM despite engine screaming above 3K rpm. Very shiok feeling.

Wouldn't this affect the engine in the long run?

i think he would blow his engine if he did that

Use engine brake to slow down the vehicle by downshifting to lower gears while at the same time using brake to aid. When coming to near complete stop, clutch in & neutral while braking to aid in full stop.

nope. more like clutch if he didn't rev match before letting go the clutch

 

what kind of engine screams at 3k rpm with the throttle closed???

that would take alot of work wouldnt it?

 

y not stop it in gear with the foot brake?

if its FF layout wouldn't make a difference

[questionedfish]

engine brake, after that normal brake, then clutch in when coming to stop.

I also use the same method. Got used to it already. I just keep downshifting and use engine brake till I reach second gear or not enough space already then I use the foot brake and clutch in just before the car stalls. When downshifting I do rev matching so that won't wear out the clutch so quickly.

The right way is to brake until reaching idle RPM den shift to neutral.

No need down shift for engine brake unless u tracking.

Brake and clutch in together? Are you talking about a very low speed situation? Because let's say at 50km/h when you see a red light in front and you start to slow down, braking and clutch in is already disengaging the gear, which means the situation is no different from putting the transmission in neutral and braking. What's the point?
