Hey guys, ive got an AU3 XR6 5 speed manual, and just wondering what is the best way to slow down with a manual?
Ive heard that using gears over time makes the gearbox sloppy, stuffs the piston rings, and stuffs the clutch/thrust bearing. But then ive also heard that putting it in neutral is bad for the gearbox because theres no oil flow? Ive been told to just leave it in gear (e.g doing 60km/h in 4th, leave it in 4th until say 35km/hand put it in 2nd), but to me that feels a bit unco. So just wondering whats the best way for the car to slow down?
