Can You Change Gear While Braking? [Solved]
If you are stopping, you don’t change down gears at all - brake down, clutch down, when you stop handbrake on, first gear and ready to go again. If you are just reducing your speed, for example to slow from 40 to 20 because of parked cars, then you can stay in the highest gear possible until you need more power.
Should you change down the gears when braking in a manual car?
