Will the car stall when braking to 20 mph in 4th gear?

Generally, it will not stall, but if the car is braked and still half-clutched, it will stall. In any gear (except neutral), if the car is completely stopped without pressing the clutch, it will stall. Here is the relevant information: 1. For manual transmission cars when the gear is in 1st to 5th gear: If the clutch is not pressed and the speed starts to slow down, the car will stall when the speed slows down to a certain extent. Additionally, water in the exhaust pipe, engine failure, or running out of fuel can also cause stalling. 2. If the gear is still engaged: Stalling due to not pressing the clutch is damaging to the car itself. Forcing the gear without fully pressing the clutch can also cause stalling and may lead to broken gear teeth, which can result in frequent gear disengagement in the future.
