I have a question about the proper use of down shifting my transmission in my motor home
I have a 2001 Jayco
With the V-10
The question is; when driving and towing my Escape I will down shift my transmission when stopping or slowing down for a stop or going down a long grade; I use my transmission as an engine brake to save my brakes and to avoid over heating them.
I was told yesterday that it is bad and could damage the transmission, a lot of us have been doing this for years so I thought I would ask RV NET for there opinion
Thank you
Paul
In my workhorse manual it encourages the use of down shifting...
