Re: Proper way to take hills (downhill) in manual... coast or engine brake? I'm confused.
the wear on tranny argument is pretty much false. Other than jamming gears, there's no notable wear worth mentioning.
Wear on the engine could be argued. I'd say a general rule is, its perfectly safe as long as you keep the RPM's realistic. Engine braking at redline isn't a good thing...all the time. But say, 1/2 redline or less, perfectly fine.
