Loool. I like this guy

nice tips...highly educative..

iv only defaulted in Keeping In Neutral At The Red Light...
(i.e in traffic jam)


now that I know I will go and sin no more

but I still believe manual cars are more fun to drive

godfatherx:
I learnt 1new thing, no neutral mode in trafficked again

It really makes no sense to me to keep the car in drive and not neutral at the red light or when the traffic is not moving.

Op should let us know the best moments to engage the neutral mode.

You have issue with neutral sha, your second point is not true...you can roll down your car in neutral, the transmission still gets all it needs because the engine is on so is the transmission, the only thing is that no gear is engaged in neutral so it's simply gravity pushing the car downhill.

just buy manuel tranny

Keeping In Neutral At The Red Light
the above is not true

Danfo na automatic?

A lot of Danfos are automatic.

For lagos here? Who wan use automatic dey run high way 24/7? Dey stop at every bus stop to pick or drop passenger.

Funny, if you do your own, use automatic you here. The haice bus wey those transport company dey use na manual talk less of danfo.

RogueX:
Yea learnt the neutral thing.

Bonus: don't drive past when a woman wants to cross in front of you

Stop, look at her ikebe and horn your appreciation.

It helps with the transmission on your body

This Ikebe go put you for wahala oooo. Ooooh Ikebe... Ikebe ooooh ikebe...

Pls stop displaying your ignorance online.
if u dont know say u dont know and learn or ask around.There are automatic transmission danfo buses in lagos/Nigeria. Even the so called transport companies that run interstate dont they use sienna buses And by the way its "hear" not "here" Goodmorning

Quality information

Fortunately enough, car manufacturers thought ahead

So they made a counter-action for most these...

For instance, It is practically impossible to switch gears without depressing your brakes

That is quite untrue. When the transmission is on D , you can still move the gear to N, R or P without necessarily pushing against the brake pedal, but you can't get the gear off P without the breaks. When I was learning to drive, I used to enjoy the jerk in the car when I move the gear to P while car is in motion, and I also enjoyed the sound of the rotating wheels as it trust to counter motion when I move the gear to D from R, without apply the brakes. It was one of my big cousins that is quite knowledgeable about automobiles, just like OP, that saw me parking one day that shouted at be to stop the act, cos it damages the brain box. We learn everyday

AutoReportNG:
An automatic transmission is, without a doubt, one of the greatest inventions in the car industry. Automatic car opens the whole new era for car owners thanks for the safety it provides. This car type is favored not only by the professional drivers but also by people with basic driving skills. However, does this greatest invention provide total safety for its driver? Sadly it is not.

7 Mistakes To Avoid When Driving An Automatic Transmission Car

Even though automatic transmission vehicle is amazingly safety, you should avoid a few things at any cost while steering the wheel. Here’s a list of 7 mistakes that can damage a vehicle badly and put the owner on the hook for some huge repair bills.

Sliding The Vehicle Down A Slope In The Neutral Mode

This habit won’t let you accelerate the car except for slowing it down. It cuts the oil supply, so the transmission does not get the proper lubrication for smooth operation. It results in significant wear and damage. For that reason, we recommend discarding this habit since the repair costs don’t worth the negligible fuel savings.

Revving The Engine Before Switching To The Gear

We all have done it as teenagers. But, don’t be that stupid because your parents are not going to pay the bills this time! It gives the transmission a massive shock that leads to more friction between the internal components, causing damage to engine parts.

Shifting Gears When The Car Is Rolling

It makes your transmission components to change direction rapidly, wearing out the gearbox at an astounding pace. Use your brakes instead to stop the vehicle. Some people shift into the Park without the pushing the brakes, which is also bad for the gearbox.

Keeping In Neutral At The Red Light

Many people do this to save fuel and protect the driveline from unnecessary wear. In fact, the loss is minimal if you push the brakes by keeping the gearbox in Drive mode. The actual damage takes place when you switch into and out of the neutral mode.

Switching To Parking Mode Before Completely Stopping The Car

Shifting to the Park mode will cause a locking pin to be inserted into a gear attached to the output shaft of the gearbox. The wheels are also connected to the same shaft. So, when you lock it and keep the vehicle rolling at the same time, there’s a risk of breaking the locking pin.

Driving Hard Without Warming Up The Engine

It’s a blunder, especially in the winter season. The oil thickens and moves slowly when the weather is cold. Give the fuel a minute to run into the transmission and all of its parts. If you shift into gear and start driving at high speed from the beginning, it will lead to severe internal damage.

Keeping The Fuel Tank Low

An automatic car largely depends on fluid pressure to run properly. Fuel also helps a vehicle’s engine and other elements to stay cool and lubricated. So, these will wear out a lot faster if you continuously keep the tank low on fluid.

Then what is the use of the Neutral Gear?

The main purpose of neutral on an automatic is for towing or pushing the car. Obviously you can't push it with the transmission in park, and if you tow it with the transmission in gear or in park and the drive wheels are in contact with the ground, you'll ruin your transmission or your tires or both.
