Eliew Neutral Newbie December 2, 2003 Share December 2, 2003 On a related note, wouldn't the frequent reverse and "D" when adjusting car's position during parking have the same adverse effect? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E36UDM Neutral Newbie December 2, 2003 Share December 2, 2003 Yours auto ?? thot urs was a manual. Anyway its really up to individual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_t Neutral Newbie December 2, 2003 Author Share December 2, 2003 good answer. but there's no difference between traffic and traffic jam. So long as the car is not in motion, there is no requirement to leave it at D. It's 2 school of thoughts that can never be resolved so easily. i think that answer from the guy at driving centre should be reverse....disengage at traffic and not at traffic jam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_t Neutral Newbie December 2, 2003 Author Share December 2, 2003 Ya.. mine's an auto. it does seem to be up to the individual, just a matter of which one will wear out the transmission more.. or which one will help prolong the transmission's lifespan. the choice is ours.. of course it must be an informed choice ..

Ace_t Neutral Newbie December 2, 2003 Author Share December 2, 2003 that action would wear out your gear switch a little earlier. prolonging the tranny's life would depend on many factors.. such as stopping completely before engaging / changing gears and not doing sudden spurts of high revvs etc etc. On a related note, wouldn't the frequent reverse and "D" when adjusting car's position during parking have the same adverse effect?

Honzai Neutral Newbie December 2, 2003 Share December 2, 2003 Well if you still engage D in traffic jam then your right leg will have cramps that's why i re-train my leg foot to take over the brake pedal during traffic jams! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

E36UDM Neutral Newbie December 2, 2003 Share December 2, 2003 thats good but brake with left foot while driving really needs training Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_t Neutral Newbie December 2, 2003 Author Share December 2, 2003 think this one is a result of improper idle tuning... or maybe a tranny problem. The rented car I drove needs to be put at 'N' when stopping at traffic lights as I can't stand the vibrations it caused when at a complete stop position. The engine may even die if the car is not moving for more than one minute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
