Help out guys/gals ^_^

Most people say that manual trans and auto trans is working pretty much the same thing right...1st grear,2nd,3rd,4th...etc...Anyways..

Ex.. most manual car at the line they began to rev their engine right. you know step on the gas before they hit to 1st grear to have the power ready...
- Could I do that with a automatic guys????..You know put on neutral then rev same thing then hit D to start 1st gear then up... NO???

If I do it this way with my auto transmission, nothing will go wrong with my transmission right?or it will be??? Could I do it this way to get the power started or it not right to do it and i will ruin my transmission fast??? ??

 

If you really have to abuse your transmission, I would say planting your foot on the brake and reving the engine up in drive would be a lot better than slamming it into drive from neutral.

 

i used to do that with my old car. foot on the break and step on the gas. i got lucky and sold the car same price i bought it. would never do it again you will feel your tranny slippin after a while.

 

from what i have heard if you rev it high in N then drop it to D eventually you will drop your tranny it is really bad for it your better off staring and in drive then down shift to 1st thats what i did wen i had a automatic it worked pretty good but my car was still slow as dirt

 

neutral drops = horrible for your transmission.

torque braking = not so bad if done correctly.

1st, you have to know the stall rpm of your torque converter. On most factory cars, it's between 2000 - 3000rpm. The stall rpm specifies the rpm at which the torque converter begins to transfer power when starting from standstill. Next time you're at a light, punch the throttle while watching the tach. The tach will jump to the stall rpm before the car moves.

To torque brake, use the brakes to keep the car stationary, then rev the engine to the stall rpm. Don't hold it there for too long or you'll cause a LOT of heat to build up in the torque converter which will drastically shorten it's life. But if you're staging for a race, holding the torque converter at the stall rpm and then releasing the brakes & punching the gas will give you better launches most of the time.
