Sure. I didn't say one couldn't engine brake with a slushbox. It's just that with most, it requires excessive and unnatural intervention on my part. After 17 years behind both, I give the satisfaction derived from engine braking a slushbox a 2 out of 10. And the last thing I'd want to be doing is generating more heat in that fluid coupling hanging off the back of the motor by using the transmission in such a way.
