    Mas mahaba nga ba ang stopping distance ng AT? Would putting it into N BEFORE stopping help? Would it even be advisable?

    Putting the tranny into N before stopping would probably increase stopping distance. Letting go of the accelerator already induces engine braking, while this isn't exactly as instantaneous as on a manual, there is definitely such an effect on A/T cars. Disconnecting the engine from the tranny (putting it into N) means you lose the engine braking. It may also be dangerous.

    You're not supposed to shift in and out of Neutral with the vehicle in motion.

    brakes stop the car, not tranny or engine.

    tama.. preno mo lang, pag huminto na tsaka lang ka mag N..

    ang difference lang ng a/t, kung hayaan mo, di ka hihito!kaya preno mo lang till it stops...and di mo feel ang engine brake kasi bahala na ang a/t mag timpla...

    kaya, logically, walang maling "timpla sa a/t", therefore, di ka mamatayan ng makina whe you go from still->go! except kia ng mom ko, makamali lang ng apak, patay makina...

    mas okey pang nakahinto yung kotse na nakdrive yung shifter nya kesa ishift mo sya sa neutral habang tumatakbo yung kotse mo.masyadong delikado.

    In braking, weight does come into play, and a M/T tranny is not as heavy as a A/T tranny.

    technically yes. because of the fact that an AT is heavier. so two cars with the same specs but differs only in the transmission used, it is understandable that the AT car would take more distance before coming to a halt than the MT car. inertia nga ba tawag dun? pero sa tingin ko negligible yung difference.
    don't place it in neutral, lalo ka mahihirapan huminto. as they say, engine break helps slow you down.

    yup, you'll probably end up braking longer with an AT. but don't put the shifter in Neutral when braking. that's not safe. leave it in D, and let the engine and tranny haul your ride down for you. just leave a little more allowance for braking if you're used to an MT car.

AT stopping distance?
