Engine Braking

DaMonk · 2008-07-31 13:58:31

Hi, i recently remapped my VW and am very conscious of trying to keep the clutch in one piece! just wondering if cycling down through the gears when stopping is bad for the clutch and would I be better off coasting to save the clutch?

If you are sliding then you have inappropriate speed for the road conditions.

What's that got to do with engine braking?

Just keep it on topic please

We've had normal braking, engine braking and clutch braking, I think the lads were branching out into rear three-quarter panel braking, passenger door braking and rear bumper braking.
