OT: I did not put myself in a position to be an administrator here. I used to be a regular joe forumer when I hooked up with the guys here (around '99 even before Tsikot.com was formed). Being an administrator was a privilege accorded to me by doc tsikot when he asked for help in setting up the site during its early days.

People here in Tsikot.com post to help each other out, not call each other names. And we are free to post what we want, when we want as long as we abide by the site rules. Administrators and moderators are free to join the community in discussions over here. So don't tell me what or what not to do. That's what the forum rules are for. And in no way am I asserting my position as an administrator when I post. I just post as myself, a regular auto enthusiast like most other members of the community.

Misinforming forumers by telling them not to use the parking brake, giving them a false idea of what an O/D switch does and what neutral is for doesn't help much also. But then no one is acusing you of doing that on purpose. Maybe you too were misinformed about the operating parameters of a modern automatic transmission. That's what the forum is for. To talk things over and derive useful information from each other.

Btw, I always put anything I copy and paste in quotes.

Driving an AT is so simple that you can learn it in 10minutes...yes in one sitting! I don't see why there's such a thing as an "AT expert".

As for the AT traffic driving, just put it in "N" then lift the handbrake. Engaging the tranny in "P" will damage it. Its also unsafe considering most AT rigs now will pass thru R before reaching P and vice versa (ever wondered why shifting from N to R is locked and requires you to press the button??? Hello!??).

Personally, I don't like "P" since there are cases wherein you need to tow the vehicle and shifting from P to N locks out. Its better to shift it to N then secure the hanbrake so that you can tow the vehicle in case needed. Of course some vehicles (like the honda civic) does'nt allow you to remove the keys unless you shift the tranny to P.

Now as for Otep butting in:

This is a free for all forum where we learn from each other, including the mods, who are generally knowledgeable with regards to these stuff. Otep specifically has been with us for the longest time and has been giving correct infos regarding vehicle inquiries.

I don't see anything wrong with being corrected (unless you are usally offended when corrected) but I'd advice you to take it easy on your choice of words out of due respect to the mods of this site.

I'd hate to tell you this Kadaj but I also find your infos regarding AT usage false and misleading.

Now I'm not saying this because you are a new member here. I just find your reaction inapropriate.

Anyway, welcome to Tsikot.com!
