This post makes my head hurt. What's the point of downshifting in normal street driving if you're coming to complete stop? It sure as hell is a lot cheaper to replace brakes ($200) than a transmission or clutch (few grand). I've always dropped it in neutral. What's the point of tranny braking if you're not autoxing or on a road course.
