meron din isang mahabang thread tungkol dyan.

For stop and go traffic conditions...

some say it better to depress the brakes while in "D" bec. the transmission will not wear out from constant shifting (bet. D and N). They also said by using the brakes and not shifting to "N" will help reduce any unnecessary wear to the transmission.


On the other hand, some say shift to "N" as not to overheat or overwork the transmission.

Anyway, I just leave it in "D" and use the brakes to stop. If its a massive traffic jam, pull the hand brake up and put to "P" (and turn off the ignition-if the traffic is that bad).

Paging OTEP! Your inputs are needed. :D

Ps: I know if someone who likes to shift to "N" to coast to a stop on a flat surface, also while on a downhill on bridges. Thanks to this thread, I will tell them these are bad habits that can damage their vehicle.
