Ok that makes sense because the people saying it's hard on the transmission were assuming early downshifting. However, even "gentle" downshifting should put more strain on the transmission than coasting, right? More shifts, each one coming in at a higher rpm than you would want to shift at if you were being gentle with the clutch.
As far as fuel efficiency, the person who told me the opposite of that told me that when engine braking the wheels "drive" the engine, thus using less gas than at idle. Is that just a bunch of baloney then?
