[QUOTE="Conrad AlbertoJr, post: 535272, member: 61046"] I have a manual 5 speed in my trac. Its got about 54 thousand miles on it and still on the factory brakes with no sign they need to be replaced soon. Since i live in BFE arizona for the time being i dont make as many shifts as i do when im home in LA, but i downshift from faster speeds more often. My question is, will downshifting affect the life of my clutch once im home for good this month and i do alot more shifting? is that cost less than the cost of changing brakes more regularly? Conrad.
