Engine brake to be another way to lower the rotation speed
of vehicles in addition to the conventional braking makeover. Generally, engine
braking techniques more easily done on a manual transmission car.
Although it can be done but the engine brake should not be
applied continuously or frequently. This should only be done typing the crucial
moment, such as when braking is not able or when the steep slope.
Basically the engine brake is braking the vehicle speed due
to the constraints on the spin machine. This can occur from two things, the
transmission of the decline from high to low gear and also loosening sudden gas
in low gear.
Most often do the first. People often do engine brake by
lowering transmission from high to low gear. Although it can help maximize
function or brake to stop the car, but very dangerous when done at high speed.
Moreover, too often.
Doing the first way is more effective, but the effect is
ruined. When do engine brake of the upper teeth directly to low on the engine
or transmission there will be a resistance that makes a loud scraping happen,
especially when at high speed. This could damage either the engine or
transmission
In addition to the brake, the engine brake can also be used
to reduce the speed of the car. However, when frequently used or how to do it
wrong, it is likely to make a broken car engine and transmission.
Using the engine brake can only be done in certain
situations. For example, when the passing lane steep slope, the car is quite
run use second gear. This method is more secure because it is not to damage or
overload the transmission and engine components, only the effect is a little
wasteful fuel car.
In addition, specialized in manual shift when the car will
use the engine brake must also be regular, for example, if the transmission
position in fourth gear should be down to third gear, do not jump straight
second gear.
