If your train yourself to apply the e-brake after shifting to park and BEFORE you release the brake pedal, it places less strain on the parking "pawl" and it is less likely to feel jammed if you pull it out of park BEFORE you release the e-brake.

In icy road conditions, it truly is safer to put your car in netural as you do have more control over your vehicle than if your in drive, as your car will pull ahead and you have to use your brake, which can cause you to slide on a icy road surface especally when your going down a icy road that hasn't been treated by the road department with road salts, etc.

One more thing...always make sure the trans *is* indeed in 'park' before turning the ignition off. I inadvertently failed to do this a couple months ago for the first time *ever* after more than 50 years of driving. I was wondering why I could not remove the key from the ignition, until I looked at the transmission position indicator ('PRNDL') again, and then corrected my mistake, plus the vehicle had rolled halfway back out of the parking space. This can be a bit humiliating. Now I try to always visually verify it is in park before shutting off the ignition. It helps to not be rushed...expeditious, but not rushed.

The reason you should shift into Neutral at a stoplight if you're there for a long time or in very slow and heavy traffic is due to heat. When the transmission is in drive the Pump (the part of the torque converter that is connected to the engine) is spinning against the stationary Turbine. This causes a lot of heat buildup if it is left in drive for a long time. Shifting to Neutral or Park allows both elements of the torque converter to spin freely and not against each other minimizing heat buildup. Remember the number 1 killer of automatic transmissions is heat.

I had a 1987 Mercedes Benz 420SEC which needed a transmission overhaul at 100,000 kms. The reason was lack of use early in its life when some years it only did 3,000 kms. Many moving parts lost oil from surfaces due to lack of use over long periods and this caused microscopic corrosion which did abrasive damage over a period resulting in "mushy" gear shifts. Something to be aware of when buying an older low mileage automatic car.

Yes, I am guilty with a couple of the no no’s mentioned, above. So, thanks for the heads up and saving me money, on potential early repairs.

#5: From what I remember changing gears from Drive to Neutral at traffic stops unnecessarily causes wear due to gear change, but most importantly the gearbox is actively lubricated in Drive and is not in Neutral. Therefore, putting it in Neutral for a couple of minutes and then switching to Drive is comparable to a cold start. Am I wrong? #3: Is launching OK if your car has a launch mode? It still causes wear, but not as much as reving it in Neutral and then forcing it in Drive?

#5. Putting the transmission in neutral at a stop light is not a bad idea. If it is hot outside and you are sitting at a stoplight while in gear, the torque converter is, in it's natural state of letting the fluid "slide" it's creating heat. On a hot day, it can raise by 50 degrees in less than 5 minutes and all that added heat has to get dissipated like, through the radiator (where most of the automatic transmission coolers are) and in the transmission itself. But, by putting it in neutral lets the fluid circulate without having the pressure of the torque converter.

It's a sealed system so you'll be fine. If what they're saying was true my 4x4 would be long gone by now.

I am a master technician so let me tell you that launching your transmission from a stop does more harm to the ATF than the bands or clutches in the transmission. The torque converter is shearing the fluid and vastly increases the temperature when there is a large speed difference between the impeller and turbine inside the torque converter, which breaks down the fluid. Every 10 degrees over 230 degrees reduces the life of the transmission fluid by half. So 20 degrees over reduces the life of the ATF by 1/4. 30 degrees over, 1/8th of normal life span for the fluid. The fluid will then lose its ability to properly lubricate.

I would think that a drop of water in the transmission wouldn't hurt anything, and considering most transmissions probably run around 100 degrees F when operating or when warmed up, any slight amount of water would evaporate and not linger around like they hint at with the corrosion. I've driven through a bunch of water with my truck over the years and still have yet to have any sort of trans problem. However, that being said, you don't want water to come up into the engine, which is the real important thing here, not just for the trans, but because it could possibly be ingested into the engine and cause damage, not to mention hydrolocking.

Coasting an automatic transmission vehicle in neutral will eventually cause damage to the band and clutches. At speeds below 5 mph for most automatic transmission vehicles the torque converter is not directly engaged, and thus when the vehicle is standing still going from neutral to drive is safe. Under 5 mph the torque converter is fluid coupled to the the transmission assembly. If the vehicle is moving along at normal speeds above 5 mph for most vehicles the torque converter is directly coupled between the engine output shaft and the transmission drive assembly. When coasting at speed, and putting the transmission back in to drive again there is a very big stress on the band and the torque converter. Also when coasting in neutral the engine that is coupled to an automatic transmission can overheat. The RPM is dropped causing lower oil pressure because its RPM is not being compression dragged from the transmission. The automatic transmission is cooled through the lower section of the radiator up front. Lower oil pressure can cause the engine to run hotter and thus also be heating up the transmission more. The transmission is directly coupled to the engine block via the transmission bell housing containing the torque converter and the drive shaft output from the engine. Putting the vehicle in neutral while stopped from more than 3 to 4 minutes can help for keeping the transmission cooler. There will be no fluid (oil) friction caused by the torque converter pushing pressure against the drive vanes inside of it. However, putting the transmission in neutral and then back in to drive at every light will eventually cause more wear of the band because of the constant engaging every time the transmission is put back in to drive. At lights and normal stops of less than about 4 minutes or so, it is best to leave the transmission in drive and hold the vehicle still with the breaks. When on a hill do not use the transmission's torque to hold the vehicle from rolling back. This will cause overheating of the torque converter and cause eventual failure. Keep your foot on the break and only release the break when ready to start moving again. Automatic transmission have positions 1, 2, and D for drive. Some elaborate types will have multiple speeds that can be used as a manual mode, or for compression for going down hill. If these positions are not correctly used, this will cause excessive wear and failure of the transmission even though there are protections put in place. Best to only use the manual modes if you are absolutely sure you know how to use them. It is easy to over race the engine, and to put unnecessary strain on the transmission assembly. These manual shift positions were meant to be used for when pulling a trailer under load, or for doing some performance driving. Performance type driving puts extra strain on the vehicle's total drive train and engine. Pulling a loaded trailer is also an extra strain on the total vehicle system. If you really need to pull a trailer often, get a pickup truck that is properly equipped and set up for this type of work. When I was in my early 20's, I was doing some engine and transmission rebuilds. I was also maintaining and driving a high performance 600 HP NASCAR type vehicle as a hobby. Today, I am in my 70s. When my SUV needs service I go to the dealer. I did modify the programming of the engine management a bit to increase its performance. The technology in these cars of today is crazy complicated! :-)

Some of what you say is correct but some isn't. Engines run hotter when they are subjected to a load. When coasting in neutral the engine is in a no load situation and will run cooler. If the engine is running cooler, then the radiator will be cooler, thus allowing the transmission fluid to cool more efficiently as it passes through the tank on the radiator.

Low fuel has nothing to do with automatic, fuel does not lubricate - the main risk from letting fuel run low, is scavenging grot from the fuel tank and clogging the fuel filter. If you must "launch" an automatic, then a less damaging way is to left foot brake, build rev and power while in drive and then release the brake - holding under power will overheat the transmission if maintained for too long (this is also one reason why using the transmission to hold uphill is bad)

Matthew Day Also, park isn’t designed to hold the car. It aids in preventing the car from rolling, but if you read the owner’s manual, you will see it says to always use the parking brake. Even on a flat surface, it is recommended. A couple years ago, Hyundai had a recall for some of their shift pins. The vehicles were not actually fully in park when the keys were removed. The cars rolled with nobody or key in it. If owners were to use their parking brakes, there wouldn’t have been an issue. At least not as dramatic of an issue.

I got into the habit of always engaging my parking brake 20+ years ago. When shifting out of park got to be nearly impossible, I had to have the shifter cable replaced. A year later, shifting started getting almost impossible again, so back to the repair shop. They made an adjustment, and I asked the mechanic if there was anything I could do to help prevent this from recurring. He told me to engage the parking brake after coming to a full stop, and _before_ shifting into park, _especially_ if parking facing uphill. I've been doing that ever since.

My Audi A6 is an automatic and my owners manual says to select neutral while at light's to prevent the oils getting hot around the torque converter.

That's why when shifting from a stop or start put your foot on the brake always. If you want to stop on a Drawbridge for boats to pass under, shut off the vechicle and take in the view with your foot on the brake..with it in park. This will save gas and prevent rolling and accidents. When your at the drive in make sure all lights are off including taking your foot off the brake and be sure you don't have your emergency brake pulled up at any time unless it's an extreme emergency. Many people have driven off with there ebrake still up or on. 🍀🙏😁❤️✌️🌹

#1 Interestingly, my 2010 S40 manual says that the car is built to drive through 9" of water without damage. I was like WOW! So I could drive through the flooded roads that one time, lol!

For the first one, in newer cars the shifter is a request mechanism. If you enter drive, the car won’t go into drive until it decides to. And newer cars are highly computerized, so they won’t let you shift into reverse, drive, park, etc unless the car is willing to do so. You can enter drive from reverse, but the car won’t engage the transmission to “drive” until the car thinks it’s stopped. So it’s pretty irrelevant if your cars computers aren’t broken.

1 and only 1 most online teachers/instructors of automatic transmission cars don't teach you: I am a Baguio Cordilleran in Northern Philippines. I own a Japan clunker automatic car for 11 years and my instructor for ghe first time I drove it was a nephew of mine who owns a car parts supply now in Japan. What I notice with these online driving instructors is that they missed one important tip for driving an automatic transmission car: The "CRUX"? *Automatic transmission cars don not function as automatic on downhill descent roads which means your transmission wont shift to low gear automatically as it does on ascent/uphill driving! That means, to be safe in heating up your brakes downhill, you should shift manually downgrade from neutral to "2" until "L" as the car goes on steeper descent. These so called engine brakes help you to drive slower with just a slight hit on the brakes a voiding heating the brakes. Once your brakes heated up than normal and the brake oil also heated up, your brake will no longer work!

Never put in park without pulling the hand brake. By doing this it won't do damage on the moment but it will on an every days use on the long therm. The lock pin is not made to absorb all the weight of the car (on hill park) and the engine bushing too will grow tired. Plus there's no garanty that the lock pin won't brake down while on park (seen that on a 1998 Windstar). Using the hand brake will garanty the car will stay where it is and will preserve engine/frame mounting part to wear out. The bonus you get by doing that is when you'll need your hand brake, it'll work since some drum brake system is adjusted with the hand brake. Plus the cable won't be stuck by the rust. Always use you hand brake with thr park.

It depends on the car. Toyota Hybrid manuals warn that using N has the effect of disconnecting battery charging, so there is a risk of them discharging, depending on how long it’s left in N. In long delays in a queue it’s better to use P mode, which then allows the brake lights to be switched off. The only time I use N is to switch off the reversing lights in some parking area moves to assist the others.
