B Bob B Guest Oct 20, 2008 #2 no it wont it only slows so the engine can match the wheel but no it will not lock up
Z Zowne Guest Oct 20, 2008 #3 Yes, it will definately lock up. t's called engine braking, and is caused when you downshift too fast or two early, and the engine does not have enough time to increase the revs to match the speed, so it locks up
