Default Re: Engine Breaking

Engine breaking is seriously bad news.
Engine braking, however, is usually perfectly fine if you're gentle with the clutch and don't let it over-rev.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist being the english teacher. I tried but just coudn't leave the keyboard alone!)

Incidentally, despite my sarcasm above, OP I don't believe there's such a thing as a silly question. Asking questions is the only way to learn.
