pag-neutral ng 'matic?

[qwerter]

pwede po bang i-neutral ang 'matic na car habang tumatakbo cya?
feel ko kc mas macoconserve ang momentum nya pag naka neutral e...
for that matter, pag ni-neutral ko habang umaandar, pede ko bang i lagay uli sa drive habang tumatakbo at naka neutral?
ginagwa ko kc i2 e... pero ni-didrive ko lang pag mga 1k rpm nalang....
thoughts po?

just like manual pwede, pero not recommended sa real world. safety reasons.

ok lang n->d->n..bahala na a/t mo maadjust sa tamang gear. pero safety comes first...di ka makakaalis agad when the need arises...natural reaction ng tao sa bingit ng emergency, matataranta, left mo lang sa d, kapag need mo ng power, nandyan....

puts more wear and tear on your transmission, and yup for safety reasons.

think of it this way, the money you save on gas bills would pale in comparison to the cost of repairing / replacing a transmission.

[alwayz_yummy]

tama...di lahat ng pagtitipid sa gas ok...may balik din yan sa ibang bagay.

that is one of the best ways to DESTROY your auto tranny. do a search, meron na lumang thread about do's and don'ts with an automatic transmission.

don'ts of an auto tranny
- never shift to N when vehicle is still moving. shifting to N starves the slush box of transmission fluid and can cause bearing damage.
- never shift to P when vehicle is moving. shifting to P, well it's self explanatory. throwing a monkey wrench inside has the same results.
- when parking on a downhill/uphill never shift to P before engaging the hand brake. engage the hand brake first then shift to P
- never tow the car with the driven wheels down, this can cause major bearing damage (pump is not working when engine is off so the bearings will have no lubrication).

Post mo naman plate number ng kotse mo para 'pag nakita ko sa ads, hindi ko na pag-iinteresan. hehehe.

Seriously, that's one heck of a way to destroy a transmission.

When shifting in and out of 'N', you should be fully stopped with your foot on the brake pedal. Some vehicles will not even allow you to move the shifter out of 'N' if you do not observe this. But safety devices like these are not mandatory in our market so safety is up to you.

You can flat tow an auto tranny in an emergency but never for an extended period and not at excessive speeds. Yung iba kasi nakabalagbag na sa EDSA ayaw pa ipa-galaw dahil matic daw.

not my typical dream car " BMW 5 series"... but i love it babeh! im sure when you press down the gas, youd go loko. hehehe

i shift to N during downhills only if it is safe. I find that doing this makes me get a few kilometers more in my full tank.

Baka OT pero related pa rin sa pag drive ng A/T.

Isang gabi pag start ko ng car di ko maalis sa "P". Tried several times bago ko na shift. Nag storiyahan kami ng anak ko at na experience daw niya ito last month. Pinatay niya ang engine at pag restart nya na shift na niya.

Ng binasa namin ang manual, sabi i-press ang shift release button (it also says to ensure na naka handbrake) pag di ma-shift from "P".

Kaya lang di sinabi bakit ng lock pag minsan.

Mga bro, ano kaya ang reasons bakit na-lock sa "P" minsan? TIA

Usually dapat tapakan yung brakes before you can shift out of park (P) kaya check that the brake switch is working good and yung mechanism ng spring that you press when shifting to any gear is working too. What car is that? Baka luma na and the parts need adjustment/lubrication, etc..
