2004 G35 Auto-Manual Mode Question, BRAKE OR DOWNSHIFT?
Okay before everyone bashes me on using the Search tool, I already have and didn't come up with the answer I needed.
I drive in MM about 80% of the time, (to those who are about to say, why don't you get a manual) we'll I drive in a lot of traffic and it feels good to have the best of both worlds.
When you are about to come to a stop in MM, is it best to down shift(4th to 3rd, 3rd to 2nd) or just step on the brakes? (while in 4th or 3rd).
- IF no downshift, just stepping on the brakes... Are there any risks?

i noticed...
if you brake too hard to a stop in manual mode, itll jerk into 1st.like a clunk sound...
it usually happens in 2nd to 1st to a full stop...but if ur slowly braking, itll downshift itself smoothly...
it also depends on the RPMs you are in..i try to Downshift one down, in a turn, then brake a little so im not braking in the turn..and it wont let me.itll stay in the same gear till you hit a certain RPM/Speed
