I've never heard the term "stick shift" before. I've known it as automatic or manual transmission. My driving ability is somewhere between 10% to 90%.
@NEVERENDS90 Not too sure about that - many cars can take a beating. Riding the clutch does that, and touching the gear lever while driving can cause wear on the gearbox.
Hmm so in a manual car say if i am going 60 in fifth and i want to slow down I can just change to fourth? Just cluck in change gear and out again as normal?

This Video is stupid! Cars do not have engine brakes this is just another word for deceleration. Big Trucks are Equipped with Jake brakes which is a special mechanism that bolts on to the top of the Exhaust valves, when activated it releases the compressed air in the engine, Thus slowing the truck down.
Besides long story short you do not need an engine brake for a car that weighs a ton or two compared to 40 or more for big trucks.
I did not say that there are brakes in the car's engine. What I am showing is that you can decelerate using by downshifting to a lower gear = the lower gear causes resistance which lowers the speed of the vehicle. It works in motorbikes, it works in automatics, it may work in a tractor - but I have not pushed a tractor fast enough.
Automatic is designed to remain in gear at all times unlike manual in which you need to put into neutral often. I don't know exactly why it's not a good idea, but my uncle did to save gas, and we ended up paying $1500 for a new transmission. $1500 is a lot now, and it's even more 30 years ago.
@taitai907 it's not good on an automatic transmission to use engine braking unless it is designed for it. automatic transmissions are made to do everything on their own. on sticks, however, you can downshift to decellerate, and it won't hurt a thing. stick shift transmissions are far more simple and resilliant and will usually out-live a car that they're put in.
@taitai907 hmm... I know for sure that most cars out there have a computer system that matches engine revs for auto tranny. Even that said shifting during high revs is bad for any type of tranny. It won't safe you gas if you put it on N on a automatic.
It's reasonable because whenever you let off the gas, you're engine braking. There is a manifold vacuum because the explosion in each cylinder is smaller than before, hence, lower RPM. If left in gear, it slows you down. In neutral, there's nothing mechanical working against the forward motion of your car. Either way, my uncle's car was carburated (30 years ago) so it really did save up gas at the expense of a tranny. =_=
@taitai907 haven't driven an automatic but heard that you shouldn't go from neutral back into drive at high speed, and if you shift to neutral at speed you have to wait for the car to slow down and stop before shifting back to drive.
@taitai907 what is the typical speed then for which shifting back into drive causes damage. I own a manual and it's easy to shift into neutral and back into gears when the car is moving, and first gear locks out at higher speed, and reverse is blocked unless you go to neutral. The only thing you wouldn't want to do is select second at motorway speeds!
If I owned an automatic I'd probably jut leave it in drive unless stopped as I don't know much about them.
@TraNWhiZ Only to large vehicles near towns or cities - It could be because of the lack of brake lights, or it could be the sound of the Jake Brake. I'm no trucker.
@DriveChain01 It is entirely due to the noise - poorly implemented engine brakes on diesel engines are extremely loud. Properly implemented ones are not, however.
@DriveChain01 In the USA its beacuse of idiots who live near roads who complain about a safety mechinisum that slows trucks down. I do it all the time in my sports car, a little advantage to engine braking is also if done right you can accellerate in the same down shift gear like from 5-4 @ 2100 RPM for me beacuse thats the transition RPM and lowest for 5th suggested.
@TraNWhiZ On large vehichles, such as semis and lorrys, the large diesel engines are fitted with a special engine brake known as a jake brake. when jake brakes kick on, they can double or triple the volume of the engine. in residential areas on major highways and interstates, this can be very bothersome and frustrating to residents that are sleeping, talking with friends, or anything, really. the main reason it is not allowed is for the volume. brake lights do not really factor in.
i had a latest toyota camry asian version..can i downshift anytime i want?

@Ninchiboy Only when the revs are low, usually <2500, but it depends on your gear ratio.

Power braking on the CVT Mules, you actually press on the accelerator a bit to keep the transmission engaged and then brake, then let off the gas.

You can do it with 1, 2, 3 gear positions on an automatic. You can also power brake on some CVT transmission Mules.

It's a really bad idea to shift into neutral in automatic at high speeds.

@TraNWhiZ Probably because it's too loud. Cars are only allowed to be so loud. I think that it's mainly with bigger vehicles, but still.
