Shift down & at the same time step on the gas to have a bit more acceleration.

But in other cars, the tranny with shift down as soon as you floor the gas pedal.

SO just depends on how quickly you want to overtake.

Newer model A/T cars adapt to your driving situation. It will automatically shift down when you depress on the accelerator. However, it may take a fraction of a second before it does and could mess up your timing. Shifting to D3 seconds before overtaking gives you more control on timing the overtake.

Heto po ang isa pang pagkakaiba ng P at N. base na po sa aking experience.

Ang transmission oil kasi eh pinapalamig din yan, dumadaan po yan sa radiator. Kung sisilipin nyo po yung radiator nyo, meron 2 hose na mliit sa ilalim isang papasok at isa papalabas sa transmission.

Kapag naka P, ang transmission oil po eh hindi lumalabas sa transmission papuntang radiator. Kapag naka N, R, 1, 2,3 eh ang transmission oil po eh umiikot papuntang radiator para lumamig at babalik ulit sa transmisison body.

BY accident ko nadiscover to ng binaklas ko yung radiator at nilabatiba ko ito hahaha.
