chiscodedon:Yes it is advisable to draw the gear to pack and take off your leg on the brake pedal. In other to make the engine life cycle last longer |

MrJames007:I disagree. There's a little slot besides the gear. Once you get the lid off and insert the car key inside the slot, you would be able to change the gear without the car being on. I use neutral everyday esp in traffic. The journey between D and P is too far. I just place it in Neutral and apply my handbrakes. 3 Likes |

Well, I recently upgraded from a manual to automatic, and still use the neutral in holdups. Until I read this thread, I never knew people hardly use it. For me, it reduces the stress of pushing the gear to park every 30 seconds or so in traffic... Oyinbo wey put am for una motor no de craze 1 Like |

magicfingers009:Yes. I am aware of that. Not every driver knows that, and I don't think that method works with rides with the electronic shift system you know. |

I'm just a novice in this aspect, but does it mean auto cars can be pushed out of the road if it develops a fault in the middle of the road |

maxiuc:I'll take that as an insult, but the earlier you learn from me, the better for you. Do you know the amount of stress you give to your engine when on 'Drive' while you engage your break in a hold-up? |
Re: What Is The Use Of Neutral Gear In An Automatic Transmission Car? by Kizyte(m): 10:56am On Feb 18, 2018 |
ignis:I use 'P' too but only in a terrible hold-up where movement is totally restricted longer than normal. And then 'Neutral' in a minor holdup. |

Economically speaking, to conserve fuel. Dz era of scarcity I use the N a lot to conserve fuel nd disengage gear. 2. To select gear manually. I tested dz and it works for my car. When d car z slow in selecting well, I shift to n N back to d with a little pressure on my gas. Most pple might doubt dz. Some years back as a teen. I used N nd D to drive a faulty gear baby boy from Akure to Ibadan Only pros will understand how 1 Like |

AutoReportNG:I think there 's something seriously missing in your write up. The neutral is strategically located so that you can put the engine to rest when the car is stationary and the engine is running eg in heavy traffic. That way the load the gear levies on the engine would have been cut off. That way you save yourself some fuel, if you are not deciding to put off the ignition, and you have less stress on the engine. This is the first aim of neutral part of the gear. 3 Likes |

It helps to restart the car if your engine stalls in motion without the need to come to a complete stop. 2 Likes |

Harkyn92:yes, auto cars can be pushed off the road |

pimper24:it's not just about the fuel savings but rather about relieving the engine of stress when in traffic. The N is best for traffic situations, rather than cycling through all the gears to park and back to drive, you just take it to N and back to rive. It saves the engine and transmission of stress. |

First of all when you hear the word neutral, what comes in your small mind? AutoReportNG: you are among those that do not know the function |
Re: What Is The Use Of Neutral Gear In An Automatic Transmission Car? by Xionez(m): 1:04pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
Joshuamassodi: Oga, you have said nothing o. I gleaned quite a few tidbits from write-ups in this thread. But yours has zero info. If you cannot correct, why quote?! If you don't have anything to say, please shift and stop wasting the precious space someone else would used to drop hints or ask questions. Going by your profile, you are not a professional driver neither are you a Motorhead. 1 Like 1 Share |

gameboyo: Yes. If you drive at between 60-70 miles/hr you will notice that your car will burn less fuel. If you also use cruise control or just drive at a uniform speed, you'd also save fuel 1 Like |
