What is the correct method to apply brakes in a manual transmission car, first clutch, then brakes, or directly brakes?
Why is that the correct method?
When you press down on the clutch pedal, you disengage the engine from the wheels. This means that even if you slam on the brakes, the engine won't stall. It also means that you can come to a safe stop without damaging your transmission or your brakes.
