Will the Engine Stall When Braking in First Gear?

[LeAlexis]

Braking in first gear can cause the engine to stall, but pressing the clutch before braking will prevent stalling. The key to braking with the clutch is to maintain the engine's idle rotation. If the engine speed remains at or above idle from braking to release, you can avoid pressing the clutch. If it drops below idle, you must press the clutch to prevent shaking or even stalling. Below is more information: 1. Generally, in urban driving conditions, emergency braking should be avoided. Emergency braking not only increases fuel consumption but also affects tire lifespan. When driving on slopes like bridges, pay attention to long-distance braking during downhill sections. Do not shift into neutral; always coast in gear. Otherwise, it will extend the braking distance, reduce braking effectiveness, and compromise safety. 2. On icy or snowy roads, never use emergency braking. Shift to a low gear, release the accelerator, and use the engine's traction for braking.
