Brake usage on cars with auto vs manual transmission
#8
Brakes are easy to replace. Clutch - not so much. I'd rather have brakes wear faster than my clutch wear faster.

I agree, but if you know your car and match the RPM to the actual speed of the car when downshifting, there is very little wear on the clutch. I am not a car expert by any means, but I was told that clutch is worn out when you don't match the engine speed to the correct range when shifting and there is friction when shifting. I have 300k miles combined on 2 cars and so far we didn't replace any clutch, any tranny or any engine.
