Ghost Shadow

Pretty new to driving and cars in general. I just recently got a 1995 Integra LS and I have a question. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but on my gear box (it is automatic), i have to press the button on the side of the stick to make it go from P to R which i know is normal, but from R straight down to D2, i don't need to hold onto the button, it just goes straight down if i pull it down. Going back up it does the same thing but from N to R, i need to hold onto the button. Is there something wrong with my transmission or is that normal?

Also I read alot of articles about Integras being stolen, what safety precautions should I take to make it so I don't get it stolen. (I know it's not 100% that it won't get stolen, but any helpful tips would be appreciated.)

youre perfectly fine

and on another note ive never even heard of an auto integra being stolen. if its a bone stock looking auto teggy than any thief will look right past it. unless theyre that desperate...

wow. that was super fast reply, i just posted a few minutes ago. lol. glad i joined this forum. thanks for the answer.

Thanks for the info about the auto integras and desperate thieves. I live in a pretty grimey neighborhood to begin with but your response gives me reassurance.

if you would really like peace of mind, i guess you could install a fuel cutoff switch. look in security/audio/video forum for the links. very informative and you could do it yourself for under 20 dollars. good luck

hmm i looked through it and found it. When I bought the car, it came with some lock thing for the transmission, but i hear those are useless. One question is, how does the kill switch work, or rather how would I check to see if my car has it already, because I'm not sure if it does or not. I remeber there were times that I tried starting the car up once before but it didn't start but i wasn't sure if that was a sercurity thing.
