eh i just want ur opinions dont flame cus yes im a noob obviously thats why im on forums

on my other post i was askin about racing an auto transmission

i posted on like 3 different forums and pretty much saw these 2 suggestions


1. go thru 1-2- d3- d4
unsafe for transmission but quicker / but honda owners manual says its ok ??


2 . floor it from d3 or d4 - d3 being better since it shifts at higher rpm
safer for transmission?? while some say its just as bad as going from 1 thru 4???


ive heard different things from different people .... but
um at the moment im leaning toward #2

i just wanan make sure im not messing up my tranny dont take it seriously if it seems like im not taking ur advice i just wanna be sure

 

Best thing for you to do man, is to leave it in D4. You can go from 1-2-d3-d4, if you want,but its just a quicker way to burn up your transmission.

 

Autos aren't made for racing. Actually, stock Accords aren't made for racing. Don't lower the life of your trans for no reason.

 

thanks for making me feel better guys ... now im less happy about owning an accord :/ haha

 

i hear you...noob here too.

 

dont feel bad honda makes pretty weak AT's, dont regret getting an accord... just regret not getting a 5spd

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this guy speaks the damn dirty truth

 

don't be sad..... get glad ! and swap it!!

 

werd. i just did an auto to manual.. definetly not as bad as i used to think it was. I'd suggest that over running Auto tranny blowing it then wasting money replacing it. My auto tranny went out at ~65k and i used to shift thru gears as well.
