Okay so I got my first car about 2 weeks ago, its a manual transmission and I love it to death. This thread is the product of an argument me and my dad got into regarding engine braking. Personally I don't think its a bad thing and I use it at every light or turn. He, on the other hand thinks it puts unnecessary wear on the clutch and engine. So far I know that engine braking can make your brakes last longer and helps cool the engine by sucking cold air in. He brought up the point that if theres no fuel being combusted the top end won't be getting lubed. He also insists that just putting it in neutral and coasting with the brakes will save clutch life. Thoughts and comments? Your personal preferences?
