I read that lugging the engine is not good so I try to avoid it but the when i slow down to make a turn its kinda hard for me to not do it. When I'm approaching a turn onto a residential street in 3rd gear I apply the clutch/brake make turn and then ease off clutch and keep rolling in third. This driving style causes lugging. So I thought I'd try shifting down to 2nd in to my turn and speeding back up to 3rd. Problem is when I do that the gears grind trying to put it into 2nd. I have to let engine rpm slow down a lot for it to engage properly. So much that it looks like I'm trying to make a complete stop. Am I not doing it right?
