Messing with speedbumps while driving my diesel car around city with manual transmission could be a PITA, since it makes me shift gears over and over again, so I avoid shifting between third and second by coasting in third gear thus lowering the speed before a speedbump, and after that I just speed up again accelerating smoothly. So the question is:
Does coasting in third gear at 1.100 rpm or simply driving at 1.100 rpm with low acceleration will cause excessive wear to the DMF?
I'm wondering if it would be better to downshift to second... but clutching will cause some amount of wear to the DMF anyways... so I'm wondering what's better
I'm not implying to kickdown the gas pedal at low RPM's, just coasting or gentle acceleration to rev-up the engine smoothly
