putting in neutral when stationery

[nny911]

im manual, and i put my car into neutral wen im travelling at a speed that i dont need 2 stay in gear like especially going downhill or something, and surprisingly my GBOX needs REPLACING and my BREAKS are FINE... very strange... if i dont need 2 become stationary then i just throw it in2 a higher gear, like 3nd would be ideal, but i dont wanna risk the revs going real high suddenly so i'll put it in2 4th, so its not like i force it back in to 2nd or watever..

i suggest you actually downshift. its alot safer in emergency situations (even though we may be lazy) cos u never know shit happens a truck or anything could be heading your way and you need to step on it out of there. but cos ur panicing and ur still in neutral.. could be a problem. and u got you think of other variables that make your gearbox wearing out not just the brake issue. i dont know if you do this but, going too slow in a higher gear than necessary makes ur gearbox/engine struggle when you step on it that cant be good too.
