MobilityExpress:I strongly disagree sir. Because the experiment you stated above is the norm here in lagos and we don't have gear problems. At least I can speak for myself. 1 Like 1 Share |

Oga carguru pls answer the question and stop posting videos, what is the neutral position meant for and where should we keep our gear in traffic, you better not say on park because in most functional/recent rides once your car is on park all doors automatically opens and you know what that means in a dangerous area the white man reasons better because if he wants you to put it on park in traffic all doors won't open automatically that practice would endanger your life so please tell us. You made an explanation that cars when on neutral rpm keeps fluctuating, let me ask have you been driving scrap because my car be it on P, D,N or R car remains stable. Pls explain so you won't mislead people on here. 5 Likes 1 Share |

MobilityExpress:SO what say you with the stop and start technology in newer mech and Audis? |
Re: 5 Things You Should NEVER Do With Automatic Transmission Cars by MobilityExpress: 5:35pm On Aug 23, 2019 |
thebigkendo: lol. Then check your rear brake linings or pads or brake cylinder drum, or handbrake cable etc. Handbrake fully engaged should be able to hold a stationary automatic vehicle (car) that is put in drive (gear one) without pressing the throttle. But there are exceptions, for some big SUVS and vans. And I don't know whether it works with automatic trucks or trailers 1 Like |

erico2k2: The cars with stop and start technology (which i referred to as the modern fuel system) use reinforced kickstarters that are built to be able to withstand frequent shutting off and restarts of the engine by the stop and start system. |

Re: 5 Things You Should NEVER Do With Automatic Transmission Cars by MobilityExpress: 6:00pm On Aug 23, 2019 |
erico2k2: Your starter might look like the normal one, as in appearance wise, but the difference is in the metallurgical build and components design. It is stronger and more durable by factory build than the normal type. But some starters look different. |

Re: 5 Things You Should NEVER Do With Automatic Transmission Cars by MobilityExpress: 6:39pm On Aug 23, 2019 |
erico2k2: Smh! Is it not common sense that moving metal parts will deteriorate faster when used frequently than when used ocassionally? Hence, it's a no-brainer that a car with start-stop technology has to have reinforced kickstarters otherwise the kickstarters will damage quicker with too frequent use. And not just the kickstarter alone, even the engine is at risk. An engine that stops and starts too frequently is at risk of higher wear and tear than the regular engine. No matter how good the engine oil is, grinding occurs, and synthetic oil can only minimize the effect to a minimal level, but it can not eliminate it completely. So even the engine bearings of a car equipped with stop-start tech etc are reinforced. And you might discredit wikipedia, understandable, but can you discredit "Haynes"? www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/stop-start-long-term-impact-your-car-s-engine www.haynes.com/en-gb/tips-tutorials/stop-start-technology-explained

whiteboyswag: You do know what a convenience feature is? How can I "Kazeem" something that is in the user manual.. Most car usually have more than 1 option for the "auto door" locking 1- Moving the shift lever out of park will automatically lock all doors, putting it back to pack won't unlock the door 2-Moving the shift lever out of "Park" will automatically lock all doors. When the shift lever is moved back into "Park" all of the doors are automatically unlocked. 3- Door locks automatically when you speed up to 10mph & unlocked when unlocks when shift level is moved to pack 4- You can cancel the auto door lock feature If only you cared to read your user manual, you would know this. 1 Like |
