You can shift to neutral when coming to a quick stop. Steps to shift to neutral when coming to a quick stop: Depress the clutch pedal to disconnect the engine from the transmission, press the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle, bring the car to a complete stop on a safe road surface, shift the gear to neutral, and engage the handbrake to complete the operation. Precautions when shifting to neutral during a quick stop: Coasting in neutral is strictly prohibited. If used for deceleration, you must first press the brake pedal to reduce speed to a suitable RPM for a particular gear, then depress the clutch pedal to downshift. In special cases, you may skip gears when downshifting, but ensure the car comes to a complete stop on a safe road surface.
