Question re Automatic Transmission Driving Technique

[artpogi]

I know of someone who shifted into "R" in Tagaytay and blew out the transmission. Freaking expensive problem... especially as it was an INVECS.

just a stupid question lang, how could they possibly make that error?

ano yun mental lapse or they were playing with the gears while moving or something?

sir niky, grabe naman trip nung kilala mo...may 2fast-2furious and tokyo-drift fever ata yun!

back to topic >

everyday driving, just D and 1/8-1/4 press on the gas...iwasan umabot sa kalahati(or watch your revs na di lalagpas ng 2000-2500rpm) and let the tranny speed up.

wag mo agad press, sayang gas at di agad ang response mg matic(compared to manual)

weekly check ng ATF level/condition and SMELL...yearly(expensive) or 2-years(just right) or 4-years(medyo expensive) ka magpalit ng ATF of RIGHT SPECS ACCORDING SA DIPSTICK/MANUAL pero kung 5-up years(very expensive) ka magpalit, dami mo babaklasin...

just maintain a 2000-2500 rpm or 80kph sa highway, tipid ka sa gas/crudo, plan your moves/trips (overtaking turnings,etc) minimize overtaking.. and have a steady pace.

pag paahon, try to select the next lowest first, but when halted to standstill on an extreme incline use 1 or L then gradually up the gear.

and yun nga, pag traffic/stoplight mag-N kayo nang di nyo mabungo at sisihin ang kaharap nyu..(biktima ako nito...sinisi ba naman akong umatras!)
