Pauly75ts Neutral Newbie May 3, 2004 Share May 3, 2004 "must be driving an auto" Why you so clever?? Of course, it's an auto. I was on the way to T2 departure hall at Changi Airport, when a truck was in front, and a taxi just behind on the right.

Smiley Neutral Newbie May 4, 2004 Author Share May 4, 2004 What's the correct method for using engine brake?? wasn't taught when taking highway code. hee hee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Neutral Newbie May 4, 2004 Author Share May 4, 2004 not so drastic down shift lah. it still will. assuming you travelling at 100 then you down shift fm 5th to 4th, the cut also significant. Control it with your clutch lah .... dont release it immediately , half-clutch it on the downshift ... cluth expensive leh, the i better use brakes.

Smiley Neutral Newbie May 4, 2004 Author Share May 4, 2004 i think this is what many of us do, including myself.. but see, we still need the brakes!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Neutral Newbie May 4, 2004 Author Share May 4, 2004 so you are those who stop at 5th gear at traffic lights. huh? no, my gear will go to neutral even before my car comes to a stop me too me too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Neutral Newbie May 4, 2004 Author Share May 4, 2004 yeap, that is when you hear the loud noise and the car jerk.. Hmm then that's not the right way to engine brake. You should still be using your brakes and not relying entirely on the engine to brake the car. It should be a smooth process and your car shouldn't jerk... trying to find a way to stop without the brakes and clutch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
