When driving a manual transmission, downshifting to slow the vehicle could cause damage. Watch the video! Manual Car PDF ► https://www.smartdrivetest.com/drive-... SUBSCRIBE TODAY! ► / smartdrivetest • Historically we downshifted manual transmissions because brakes were unreliable. • This fallibility of brakes persisted well into the 1960s. • At that time, automotive manufacturers implemented dual braking systems. • These systems created two independent sub-systems; therefore, if one system failed, the other would continue to work normally. • As well, if the entire system failed, the parking brake served as yet another failsafe. • On slippery conditions, skid pad tests have shown that rear-wheel lock up can be potentially dangerous. • Thus, for riders and other drivers, if the rear wheel lock up on slippery roads, a driver or rider could potentially lose control of his/her vehicle and risk a crash. • Finally, why would drivers use a $15,000 drivetrain to save $400 brakes? • This has been the dominate theme in downshifting a manual car for the purposes of slowing the vehicle - save the brakes! • Relatively speaking, brakes are inexpensive compared to a clutch or other drive train components; therefore, use the brakes. • ********************* • www.smartdrivetest.com • www.facebook.com/smartdrivetest • www.twitter.com/smartdrivetest • www.instagram.com/smartdrivetest/ • #howtodownshiftmanualcar #smartdrivetest #howtodownshiftmanualcar • **************** • MONETARILY SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL: • If you wish to support the channel monetarily, you can donate via PayPal here: https://www.paypal.me/smartdrivetest • This is appreciated and helps the channel, but please don't feel that it is necessary to be part of the smarter driver community. • ****************
