Downshift if in a suitable situation. I miss my 3 on the tree 79 Custom Deluxe C10 and my grandpa's 61 K30 Suburban that had granny low

down shifting is always better, makes your brakes last longer.

Down shift when you can staying in neutral is when your stuck at a light and to lazy to hold the clutch and break at the same time.

depends on traffic and how it's moving. usually I'll just use third to slow down then go to first. if traffic is crawling I'll just let it coast.

you can down shift but n then break probably better on your transmission but in a big rig you cant ride the n so down shift is my answer

I drove a school bus, I'd down shift the initial braking, and brake from there, in winter with snow or ice covering the road I would put the bus in neutral or else the wheels would lock-up and skid, I do the same in my automatic daily driver in the wintery conditions

Down shift let the engine and transmission slow you down. Controled braking. NEVER EVER PUT IT IN NEUTRAL to stop. Also known as free wheeling, brakes fail and your screwed

Always down shift...slows vehicle WITHOUT using the brakes...especially when off-roading...keeps vehicle from sliding and losing tire contact with the dirt or rock surface...I have the ORIGINAL 4 disc brakes on my '97 Honda Prelude that has a 5-speed and 250 ponies from a 2.2 liter...

down shift using the gearshift and clutch for each gear. Don't shift into first gear until y come to a complete stop. You'll save your brakes by doing so.

the only time you need to downshift is if you're hauling a load in a pickup.....I never downshift in a car. it's not necessary
