Does Exhaust Braking Harm the Engine?

Exhaust braking does not harm the engine. Here is the relevant introduction to exhaust braking: 1. The exhaust brake butterfly valve is installed on the engine exhaust manifold. By closing the engine exhaust passage, it creates reverse pressure on the engine piston during the exhaust stroke, slowing down the engine speed and generating a braking effect, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the vehicle speed; 2. When using exhaust braking, the engine continues to operate, so components such as the water pump, oil pump, power steering pump, air pump, and generator remain working normally. Therefore, functions such as cooling, lubrication, steering, air pressure, and charging are not affected, nor is safe operation compromised.

Should You Press the Clutch or Brake First When Downshifting a Car?

When downshifting a manual transmission car, you need to choose whether to press the clutch or brake first based on the vehicle's speed. Here are the relevant details: 1. When the car is moving at low speed, pressing the brake directly may easily cause the engine to stall, so you should press the clutch first to prevent the engine from stopping; 2. When the vehicle is moving at high speed, you should press the brake first because the engine is running at a higher speed and has inertia. In this case, you should use a gentle tapping brake method to slow the car down—avoid pressing too hard—and then press the clutch to prevent the car from stalling.
