If you do not use the clutch to shift, there are a couple of parts that will eventually wear to the point of causing the transmission to drop out of gear.

You were just given a manual 95 chev cavalier and have never driven manual before you were just wondering when you down shift for a stop sign should you go all the way to 1st gear or can you stopin2nd?
You can actually downshift to whatever gear you please. However, to take off properly, you should be in first gear. Downshift gear selection is determined by how fast you are going when slowing down. For an example, you would not want to downshift to first while slowing down from 55mph. You would want to downshift into 1st at somewhere around 10-15 mph or less. You may find it easier to downshift to 2nd gear and switch to 1st for takeoff. Many times when slowing down for a red light, it changes to green when traveling about 20-25 mph. In this example, you would shift to 2nd and accelerate normally through the gears.
What should you do if your brakes fail?
Depends, on when they fail. If you are driving at highway speeds, simply lift off the gas, pull the shift lever to 2nd gear, and after the vehicle slows down to around 30 mph, pull it into 1st gear. While doing this pull the parking brake but do not lock up the rear brakes. If you are in town going slow and the brakes fail, immediately pull the parking brake forcefully but do not lock up rear brakes. This would take practice to be done without loosing control. If you are taking traffic school on line and need the answer to: If you experience brake failure, you should do all of the following except: Turn off your car What you should do is: downshift aim uphill use your emergency brake.
