I avoid downshifting because of the stress on the transmission and the wear on the clutch. I'd rather replace my brake pads than have a clutch replaced or the whole transmission. The way I see it, you should know your car well enough to know what gear to put it in if you actually do need to take any sort of manuever. Just my 2 cents worth.

my sentiments exactly......why put added wear on a very expensive part....i'd much rather replace my brake pads than a clutch or tranny....i seriously doubt that either method makes much difference in fuel economy...
