Auto cars, Do you leave gear knob in

[Jujul]

Hi guys. need to to check which is better...? when you are in stationery or approaching the traffic lights.. do you leave your gear knob on "Drive" or "Neutral"

 

I heard that if you shift to "Neutral", eventually you will spoil your Gear Box.

 

But I also heard that if you leave it at "Drive" you are stressing the engine and the brake system...? so which is true..? please enlighten me

'Drive' lor

 

(anyway this is getting boring.. discussed since dinosaur age)

[Imp_drv]

[Contax]

Just leave it to 'Drive' bro.Why waste time and effort toggle with the gear shift if your intention is to drive a auto in the first place?

[Hiphiphoray]

Why bother to swift to neutral ?????

 

Btw.....i also duno what the neutral gear ooption is for.......

[Blu_g]

just leave it at D... if not frequent shifting fr D - N and N - D will spoil the gearbox.. btw, shift to N for wat???

For show lor. I remembered when I was of sec sch age, I once sat in a car with one of my cousins driving. At every traffic light he will shift to N and pull handbrake.

 

At that time I didn't know much abt driving and i was thinking "wow.. cool, pulling handbrake so stylo, pattern more than badmintion"

Just leave it on "Drive" mode. If it really stress the engine and brake system..... turn off the engine.

 

Auto gear are meant for driver comfort. Else, go back to (the) manual.

I drive a manual but honestly i think leave it at D .... frequent use = damage ...

and in cases where u are parking illegally ...you can just drive off when the cops come ...but if cought ..dont argue or quarrel with them

If stationary for more than 10mins (waiting or jam) put to N or else should be D all the times.

I always put to D at traffic lights or my ride is stationary. Yes I believe the gearbox will spoil in the long run if u "play" too much with your gear.

 

I play between P and D. That is all. That is why I am driving an auto car.

I think "N" is for the purpose of switching between "D" and "R" . Imagine without the "N", The gears would need to have a 360 degree turn when you do a reverse. Same theory like driving a manual. You need to put to neutral first before you can engaged "R" gear.

[Bluemice]

as in D, u are using brakes to "load" it, while in "N" its in free gear, it runs at watever speed it likes( almost la... at idling speed actually)
