semi automatic is still an automatic, you have no control on the clutch engagement... also the car's ECU can override any shifts until its "safe" for the tranny to do so.

With a standard A/T, you can already shift between D-2-L so why need a semi-auto? I drive my A/T as if it was a M/T.

7500rpm to 2000rpm when it shifts to the next gear??? Usually it should drop to 3500 to 4000rpms to maximize torque. Your tranny might be shifting directly from L to D (skipping 2).

Pag ti-now ba ang AT na kotse saang setting dapat nakalagay ang ATpara hindi masira: D,P or N?

papichulo168,

definitely not P and D with the drive wheels down... although not advisable, sa N mo ilagay kung nakababa yung drive wheels.

"N" po or disconnect the propeller/driveshaft.

sorry need to clarify, it goes down around 2000 rpm so if around 7500 mag shift mga 5000-5500 before the tranny engages
