Find that the auto car slow in pickup, so either slowly let it pick up speed at 2krpm or rev harder to 3.5krpm where it change to next 2 gear

is it bad for engine, transmission in the long run?

3.5K???

 

Redline is only 6.5K typical.

 

Can't be too bad what. It's considered normal. In fact, it's healthy for engine and gearbox.

 

I tried 5.5K from 1st to 2nd gear occassionally. No problem. Change ATF every year.

 

Autobox is normally killed by HEAT (frequently caught in slow moving traffic).

 

Engine is normally killed by under-revving (constantly driving/changing gear at low engine speed). Very few people can stand the sound and vibration at constant engine speed of >5K at prolonged period. Chances of wrecking an engine at too low rpm is higher than wrecking it at high rpm.

 

3.5K is also the rpm where the torque peaks for most engines.

 

Dun worry.

I do redline at least once a week for the past 5 years consistently. Normally change at 4~5k RPM. Car still not dead and working fine with regular servicing.

You must be stressed out thinking of things like that. Sell your car, take bus & MRT. Live a stress free life. :D

wow....

 

the fact that you can rev to 3,500rpm means you travel during off peak hours???

 

most of us will usually upshift at 3,000rpm during normal driving....

 

it's totally fine...

 

in fact at least once a week try to rev your car till 5,000rpm....

 

will make your engine run smoother....

I don't know about your car. Auto car pick-up need not be slow. The Sports mode, paddle shift and even D3 exist for a purpose. Newer Auto car are not like yesterday, where you have to put to D and drive till you sell your car.

 

I drive my auto like a manual for the past 2 cars. never have gearbox problem. I use stick and paddle shift everyday.

 

Regards,

Should not have any problem for engine.

 

Just change your transmission fluid at major servicing interval and your gearbox should be fine.
