Question about standard transmission
I just got my first standard vehicle, and someone told me that if, when slowing down, i downshifted and let the engine do more of the work than the brakes, it would lsat longer. Is this true? I'm wondering if this is a good thing to do, or is it just better to use the brakes? In emergencies and stuff, i would just use the brakes like normal, but for like.. coming to a stop sign or something, should i just downshift, and let the engine slow the vehicle down for me? I have a 1993 4WD Nissan Pickup, if that matters. Thanks
