i downshift ALL the time. lowering the gear in your can have 2 effects. if u downshift and hit the gas you'll hit a different part in your powerband and accelerate at a higher rpm. shift into 3rd and get too 3000 rpms let off the gas. the motor will slow your car down. it has an opposite effect when you dont hit the gas. if im in 5th doin 65 ill brake to 45 and ease it in 4th. u dont wanna downshift into a gear that will put you higher than 3000 rpms. let it drop from 3000 to 2000 in 3rd and you can almost stop. it just makes it easier on the brakes. im sure it does put a lil stress on your motor and clutch but if your easy on it your car will be fine. now that i just read that....does it make sense??? lol
