Dont make me laugh lol! Thats like saying you dont use your lights to save your battery . So you just dip the clutch when it labours and then guess what gear you should be in after loosing road speed under brakes? Or maybe you like Angel gear till you stop?Brakes pads are easy to replace. I'd like my clutch to last as long as it can.
No way in a fit shifting down and engine braking at correct revs wears out a clutch unless you cant drive a manual correctly lol
