my buddy just bought a pos 97 accord coupe and hes been wondering whats better neutral to "1" gear or coasting back then slamming the gas no matter what hes going todo it but i was riding with him today and he was asking which is less wear or less chance of hurting the tranny so i told him coasting back then slamming the gas would probally be better but idk much about auto trannys besides the launch time on them is horrible...thanks in advance

 

common noone know which is better not which is safe! both have to be harmful but which is less damageing to the tranny

 

omg

both are retarded

 

yea but try telling that to a 16 yo that just got there very first honda and found it was a automatic thats like wishing for a new game console for chirtmas and getting a bag of flaming dog poo instead no matter what hes gonna do one or the other everyone burns out when they first drive by themselfs so which will make his tranny last a little longer its pos its rusted it knocks rpm gauge dont work radio was stolen out of it etc so which is better

 

I got my accord when I turned 16. never done a burnout.

honestly, the only way your going to do a burnout in a automatic is if its wet or gravel. to little torque.

i say neutral bomb it.

 

okay but he did do a burnout going backwards then shifting into 1 and burning out after the gears had a chance to catch up then it went but if i bet ur accord was nice and and u didnt live in a back water town where all there is to do is race get laid get high then go race some more

 

....

 

^haha^

 

The best burnout I could get with my 94 auto was a 3-4,000rev (rolling backwards helps) drop from neutral to D3. Roll backwards, rev high, slap to D3, floor it, button and push to 1st , the response is actually pretty quick and harsh. As soon as it starts to spin, shift to 1st to keep it from up-shifting. If your on wet pavement and a hill you can shift to 2nd when you max 1st. All of this will be one wheel of course. I did this well over 50 times from redline with a stock, original, 120k mile engine and transmission. They are really strong but will obviously wear out eventually. Haha I'm glad you asked this, brings back memories.

 

It's a good commuter car. Don't trash the transmission attempting to do a burnout. I can't wait to see the thread

"Yo dawgs my bro was doin burnoutz in his auto 'cord and now is don't wurk"

Your friend is a retard, and you are a retard for supporting him. I'm going to wager he didn't buy the car himself either and isn't paying the insurance. Don't break what you don't own.

Last time this happened? I and the rest of GDD royally ****ed WhiteVenom from the Mustang forums (nos on his mustang then tried having mommy/daddy pay for it)

 

I suspect your either young,dumb or stupid by stating that you do that to an automatic tranny. Prob all three!

 

well he wont be doing burnouts long after this thats fo sure. trans will be in pieces but if he has to do it revving up in neutral and then drop it into gear it will burn

 

tbh he paid for the car and the insurance but his dad found the car for sale for close to nothing so my freind bought bought it until he can afford/find a eg6 hatch

 

i really never grew up riding/driving automatic cars the only automatic i ever drove was my sister Toyota Camry

 

rofl yay support... but would he be better off just rolling back in "1" then punching it btw he was talking today about swaping a h22 with a 5 speed trans in it i know he has around 5 grand to spend would that cover harness/cluster ecu intake manifold trans a convertkit for the new tranny or custom farb parts oem fuel rail/injectors new pumps/belts etc he can do it will his dad they do swaps all the time at napa

 

On that note, if he keeps neutral 'bombing' the trans he will destroy it. There is a component inside the torque converter that is a one way clutch called a sprag. High shock loads such as neutral drops will grenade it. His torque converter will then become a (strictly)fluid coupling, with shrapnel dispersing qualities.

 

wow that sounds extermly useful does the shrapnel dispenser add any hp?!?!?! no but thanks i knew nb burnouts where bad but never really knew they were all that harmful i thought it was the same damageing affect of power shifting or like dumping the clutch but thanks ill tell him to wait until he has the swap 100% ready before destorying his tranny =[)

 

i feel a little dumber after reading this thread

 

yea same here looking back on it after i read up on automatic transmissions i feel stupid for posting this.... but anyhow 5sp's are way better then auto trans so much funnier and so much more control

 

he might as well crash it into a wall and save some time. just cut out the middle man.

 

pssh thats the easy way out he sticks with his plans the whole way though no middle man included..

 

How old are you??

 

At least 16, but mentally he appears to be -10.

 

"my buddy just did this" = "it is me and everybody knows it but me"

 

what lol? i have a 91 cb7 5pd automatics are for *****'s id never own one
