a doc i work with knows i am in to cars and asked me if it was bad to down shift an auto trans rather than braking in order to slow down. i told him he was an idiot and to leave me alone....
than after we had a good laugh, i said i didn't know but will find out from people who know more than i do about auto transmissions.
so what is the concensus?
OK to manually downshift an auto trans to slow the car or is it bad for the trans?
cheers,
scott
