no, i don't shift into neutral everytime i come to a halt. just wanted to know your expertise opinion, that's all =)

also, i'm guessing the ppl who are backing up and pop their car into drive, without making a complete stop ruin their transmission? what exactly gets ruined?

Does this hurt the transmission?

When driving an automatic transmission, does it hurt the transmission to put it in neutral while the car is still rolling, in drive?

Also, does it hurt the transmission, if your car is rolling forward in neutral, and you put it in drive without letting the car come to a halt first?

thanks

i had the same problem except this problem occured when the car was in "D" instead of "R." I've been driving it since, and the problem has not yet popped up again. If I were you, I'd try to put it in reverse around your house, perhaps a driveway. This problem might not re-occur a...

Id guess that stopping so quickly caused the pump to run dry.

Checked my fluid level, everything seems fine. I always take care of the car and its maintence intervals are always done on time. I pretty much baby it. My parents have had the car since new and babied it as well. BTW, the car has 135k miles on the odo.

1) Lately, I've been having trouble getting my car to shift out of park. The button on the shifter, freezes up or something and the only way to shift out of park is through pressing the shift release button located on the bottom of the shifter. This happens sometimes, but I'd like to see what you gu...

i've always thought that if you get bigger rims or tires, you would accelarate slower but have a higher top speed. eventhough the difference in tire size wasn't significant, i felt my car weaker. don't know why? perhaps the width puts on more resistance

I've always used the factory recommended tire size which is 185/70/hr14. however, when i needed new tires, i tried out a set of 195/65/14's and noticed that my car wasn't as response as it was before in terms of acceleration.

I've read somewhere that the reason the transmission locks up when it warms up is for the simple reason that when you release the throttle, the rpm's stay at where they were and gradually come down. This allows for instant power in case if the need be arises. When the transmission isn't locked up th...

the tires are all the same width. the factory tire size, which I follow is 185/70/HR14. The factory recommendation is 30psi front and 29psi rear. I usually put in 33 front and 32 rear.

my car requires 30 psi up front and 29psi in the rear. why does subaru recommend more tire pressure in the front when most cars require the same pressure for both front and rears?
