So true brother. Can’t imagine to hold the clutch pedal while waiting for a green light. So different rules for manual transmission. I wish to have a manual transmission in my Santa Cruz. Life will be stress free 😊
1. Never shift from drive to reverse while moving 2. Never put it in park before stopping 3. Never switch to Neutral at stop lights 4. Never coast in Neutral 5. Never launch your car while in neutral 6. Always avoid keeping the gas tank on low 7. Never let water get in the transmisión
In addition to all of these, always put the e-brake or manual brake on/up before putting your car in park when parking on an angle (decline/incline). This will help the overall life of your pin to hold the transmission in place during park & the overall life of the transmission itself. This isn't a problem for manual transmissions, only automatics, and is something very few people know as a very helpful hint/trick.
I guess people forget that it's primary use is for Parking. It is called a parking brake not a e brake. The emergency use is secondary to the primary use. my wife gets mad at me "why so you always pull the e-brake up and parking" i tell her it is it's intended use. Never trust the parking paw inside a auto they can and do fail.
@@CotyRiddle You my friend are indeed ahead of the curve, always the smart thing to do! Those 'Just In Case' moments are always creeping around the corner waiting for you to drop your guard.
In many cars that "e brake" is a tiny pedal on the left near the tirewell and the release lever has a P printed on it, and on every car the dashboard warning light to let you know when they are engaged is an orange or red P.

It does not hurt the car to put in in neutral at the stop light. Who told you that? The torque converter still spins in drive and it does not spin in neutral. As long as one is using the brake to switch from N to D is fine.
THE SUPER DUPER no you shouldn’t push a vehicle with an auto transmission really either, to be honest I’m not sure what the point of neutral is aside from being a fail safe
@@barnabyg6808 It is just to have a disconnected mode, to engage the starter motor from, also never tow an auto trans car with our drive, the torque converter is not lubricated.
@@barnabyg6808 neutral is engaged when it's in park. But pushing a car a short distance like a block or 2 in neutral isn't a problem. Also car washes require it.
Rain falling doesnt affect the transmission as it is located under the car. He meant dont drive in high or flood waters. Or any body of water where it can cause water to splash under the car continuously.
No, rain won't get through the gaskets and seals. Never pressure wash mechanical parts with oil in them. Oil and water don't mix, but they interact in a way that when heated and mixed by spinning gears, they foam up into bubbles, dropping your oil pressure and causing your car to not lubricate itself properly, leading to metal shavings from metel-metal contact, which, even after you replace the oil, will still slowly eat away at your transmission.

You should never press the clutch in a manual or coast in neutral if you go downhill. You don't get the engine-braking effect, in a manual either downshift and ease off the gas, or if you sit in an automatic car, just leave your foot off the pedals and maybe use CC to keep your speed without braking. The automatic Transmission will perform downshifts to slow the car down. Riding the brake pedal will let your brakes run hot and they start to smear, which will affect your ability to slow the car down. This also causes the brakes to chime after cooling down again. If that's the case, perform multiple hard stops from higher speeds to rub off the hard rubber (from the cooling process) on the brake. You can always change from Neutral to Drive in an automatic, in case you need to get towed after an accident. "Never launch your car while in neutral" - What the hell man? If you intend to launch it from a standstill, just press brake and gas at the same time, nobody revs up and switches to drive... Pressing Gas and Brake at the same time causes the clutch (in a dual/single clutch car) to slip or the torque converter to build up pressure, let off the brake and you accelerate with full power.
Da fug ?? Most people's telling me that I should put Neutral when I stop at the lights ... Wtf my mind death . I used my cars many years like this wuuuttt
I actually asked a guy i borrowed an automatic car, when should I actually put it in neutral. When I sit at a stop light for 1-2 minutes, should I still leave it in the drive? I have driven manuals almost my whole teenagehood.
Im giving uber service in Qatar , some time no trip requst come 30 mits to 1 h, that time i trun my car on AC is running cos to hot outside , its any problem for car?
I once knew a guy who had a car that was so messed up that he apparently put the car in reverse every time he wanted to stop. Needless to say that car got destroyed, I don't know how much of his story was true but he definitely had a car with brakes that didn't work at some point
I just want to say that I've seen a lot of people saying that they are annoyed by the people who shut their engines at red lights and calling them stupid.They don't stop the engine , newer vehicles automatically stop the engine to save fuel and to also reduce CO2 emissions. This is called start-stop and it has been implemented in a lot of older cars like the 2011 Audi Q7 so this technology has been used in cars for almost a decade or maybe more so I don't see how people don't know about this already and how they can talk about something they don't really know.
Start-stop system is annoying though so the first thing I do on my car when I start it is to turn that system off. Another thing with Start-Stop system is that it will probably wear out your starter faster and that will probably cost more then the few drops of fuel you save by the engine turning off
I doubt they haven't made a system without parts specifically made to handle it. They probably would stop using this system if it caused problems. My uncle has always used the Start-stop system and hasn't needed to replace any parts in 4 years, still going. But yes, it saves very little fuel
The same goes for not being able to shift the car into park. Actually, many manufacturers put that fail safe into their cars back in the 1980's and a few had that installed earlier.
What should I do with automatic car while I come from down hill . Is it run in automatic mode with braking or run in manual mode to control speed through engine braking in low gear?
I have been running my acura rsx type s to pretty much empty for 11 years and 400,000+ kms same fuel pump, still shifting at 8100rpm from time to time with no noticeable fuel issues or failures.
"Never switch to neutral at a stop light" explanation more please. Because a lot of the professional drivers I know said that it's better to switch to neutral(and hand brake) at a stop because it avoids the stress to the car.
Yes ... its less stress on the engine that is trying to pull a car while you are holding it back by using the brakes. By putting it in N, that allows the engine to rotate freely without restriction.
How bout when parking on a hill hold the brake, put car in neutral, then pull up on ebrake lever or push the parking(ebrake on left of brake), wait for it to engage, let go of foot brake. Once the ebrake/parking brake is engaged and car isn’t moving then move shifter from Neutral to park so ZERO pressure is on that transmission pin. 🤔
Water should not get into your engine in general, not just the transmission. Granted if you get a few drops into the combustion chamber it likely will burn off, but you really don't want water in your engine anyway (unless it's engine coolant which is usually a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water). My general rule of thumb is that if the water comes up beyond the wheel hubs on my vehicle, I won't drive through it (I have a truck though so the engine does sit a few inches above the wheel hub level but still, many mfrs use this as a rule for determine if you should drive through standing water or not).
My car has an S the transmission stick thing whatever and a + and - s is for sport when the car is on a track or in a race but is it manual if it's on sport?
Heres a tip; Check and make sure your 710 fluid is clean for optimal engine performance. If it's not clear you have to drain the fluid, change the fluid filter, and add 710 fluid but they don't sell it in stores, but all it is, is water. you'll need 4-6 quarts and 710 milliliters of no oil.
Yes it does why do people idle the car to warm it up and idle while picking up passengers or people have engines running in idle with air cons on while eating MacDonald in the parking lot and pull over to answer the phone while idling. Maybe he should catch a bus while the timing belt or timing chain are spinning the oil pump will work just do not turn off the ignition while coasting down hill the steering wheel will lock up
Somewhat true, although it depends on how your engine handles fuel starvation. Most modern cars do not have this problem. Those that didn't cope well causes massive sudden engine braking that stresses the transmission.
So if going into neutral is a "bad idea" why are some DCT doing this on their own in some cars. You can save fuel in neutral but there is no short and easy answer about this topic.
It's fine to run your car low on gas. The dirt in the bottom of the tank always gets to the pump even on a full tank of fuel. That's why there is a strainer on the bottom of the fuel pump and in the fuel line. And the fuel pump has nothing to do with the transmission.
I don't know much about automatics, I prefer the manual any day, but won't idling your car in the drive not wear or over heat you clutch? Isn't it similar to sitting on the clutch in a manual while idling

I once knew a guy who had a car that was so messed up that he apparently put the car in reverse every time he wanted to stop. Needless to say that car got destroyed, I don't know how much of his story was true but he definitely had a car with brakes that didn't work at some point
I just want to say that I've seen a lot of people saying that they are annoyed by the people who shut their engines at red lights and calling them stupid.They don't stop the engine , newer vehicles automatically stop the engine to save fuel and to also reduce CO2 emissions. This is called start-stop and it has been implemented in a lot of older cars like the 2011 Audi Q7 so this technology has been used in cars for almost a decade or maybe more so I don't see how people don't know about this already and how they can talk about something they don't really know.
Start-stop system is annoying though so the first thing I do on my car when I start it is to turn that system off. Another thing with Start-Stop system is that it will probably wear out your starter faster and that will probably cost more then the few drops of fuel you save by the engine turning off
I doubt they haven't made a system without parts specifically made to handle it. They probably would stop using this system if it caused problems.
My uncle has always used the Start-stop system and hasn't needed to replace any parts in 4 years, still going.
But yes, it saves very little fuel
3:55 You cant launch in neutral your car wont move
The same goes for not being able to shift the car into park. Actually, many manufacturers put that fail safe into their cars back in the 1980's and a few had that installed earlier.
What should I do with automatic car while I come from down hill . Is it run in automatic mode with braking or run in manual mode to control speed through engine braking in low gear?
3:00 he said the same thing when he showed us 7 things you should never do in a manual transmission XD
Is it me or do like half on these apply to manual AND automatic?
5:05 I feel ya, sir
I have been running my acura rsx type s to pretty much empty for 11 years and 400,000+ kms same fuel pump, still shifting at 8100rpm from time to time with no noticeable fuel issues or failures.
you also cant shift to reverse even in a manual transmission
"Never switch to neutral at a stop light" explanation more please. Because a lot of the professional drivers I know said that it's better to switch to neutral(and hand brake) at a stop because it avoids the stress to the car.
Yes ... its less stress on the engine that is trying to pull a car while you are holding it back by using the brakes.
By putting it in N, that allows the engine to rotate freely without restriction.
How bout when parking on a hill hold the brake, put car in neutral, then pull up on ebrake lever or push the parking(ebrake on left of brake), wait for it to engage, let go of foot brake. Once the ebrake/parking brake is engaged and car isn’t moving then move shifter from Neutral to park so ZERO pressure is on that transmission pin. 🤔
3:30 yeah but In an emergency manover it’s either break and move or just move you won’t gas ...
Manuals are becoming extinct someone please intervene 🤔
Moral of the story: drive a manual car
Facts lol
Is it ok to put your car in sports mode while accelerating? I usually do this when going up a highway ramp to lock the cars rpms higher
Water should not get into your engine in general, not just the transmission. Granted if you get a few drops into the combustion chamber it likely will burn off, but you really don't want water in your engine anyway (unless it's engine coolant which is usually a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water). My general rule of thumb is that if the water comes up beyond the wheel hubs on my vehicle, I won't drive through it (I have a truck though so the engine does sit a few inches above the wheel hub level but still, many mfrs use this as a rule for determine if you should drive through standing water or not).
I’ve done all of these & here I am. Alive and broke
Running empty on your fuel wont damage the Transmission lol. Didn't know Fuel injectors were attached to the Transmission haha
same i thought they were attached to the muffler
thing jesus christ, Noah get the boat
thing thothose are 02 sensors bud if you arent being sarcastic
Maybe about how some engines handle fuel starvation. Some does indeed have sudden engine braking when it does.
is it bad for your auto trans to downshift when in manual mode?
My car has an S the transmission stick thing whatever and a + and - s is for sport when the car is on a track or in a race but is it manual if it's on sport?
No it is a auto with manual control. Some call it shiftronic.
Tip 94
Never
I repeat never
Change gear
😝😝😝😝
5:05 🤣
The torque converter is rigidly attached to the flex plate on the impeller side. Therefore that side always spins the same speed of the motor.
you never should toe any car no matter what transmission whit gearbox turning, more than few meters. rolling wheels can be on a road.
Heres a tip; Check and make sure your 710 fluid is clean for optimal engine performance. If it's not clear you have to drain the fluid, change the fluid filter, and add 710 fluid but they don't sell it in stores, but all it is, is water. you'll need 4-6 quarts and 710 milliliters of no oil.
#1 don't buy a car with an automatic transmission.
Wait... the engine doesn’t receive oil when it’s in neutral??? 😂
Yes it does why do people idle the car to warm it up and idle while picking up passengers or people have engines running in idle with air cons on while eating MacDonald in the parking lot and pull over to answer the phone while idling. Maybe he should catch a bus
while the timing belt or timing chain are spinning the oil pump will work just do not turn off the ignition while coasting down hill the steering wheel will lock up

Thank you for 3&4
What does the low fuel and fuel pump have to do with the transmission?!
1:48 dats me in 2012 picking up my hooman
Oh my Christ...
Running low on gas can ruin your automatic transmission 🤔 sounds like someone is making shit up
Somewhat true, although it depends on how your engine handles fuel starvation. Most modern cars do not have this problem.
Those that didn't cope well causes massive sudden engine braking that stresses the transmission.
You should do one of standard transmission
6:00 I didn't even know why commonsense didn't existed at this part🤦♂️😭.
Lesson learned... buy a manuell... hard stop
manuel?
People named Manuel: profusely sweating
I feel like you took all this info from a wikihow
very nice tips, thanks! But tip regarding fuel levels has nothing to do with transmission :D
So what's the use of neutral if it's not good to shift in it at the traffic stop? Just asking.
I refuse to believe that people are shifting into reverse whilst still going forward
It doesn't do anything.
Modern cars like Volvo ,won't let you to do this .
Lol even manual doesn't let you do that 😂😂
I've done it on accident. I switched back to drive before it could engage, but yeah. Some people are actually that dumb.
You’d be surprised at how many people actually do it
Tip 10: Never drag your car with automatic transmition
3 months ago u said do not take a car with manual and automatic too? then what u want us to take?
Thanks, now I’m gonna go do all of these
This was intense lol
P: park
R: race
N: neutral
D: drive
N: nitrous
i am leaning about cars tis is helping me a lot
Then what exactly is the neutral gear for?
So if going into neutral is a "bad idea" why are some DCT doing this on their own in some cars. You can save fuel in neutral but there is no short and easy answer about this topic.
It's fine to run your car low on gas. The dirt in the bottom of the tank always gets to the pump even on a full tank of fuel. That's why there is a strainer on the bottom of the fuel pump and in the fuel line. And the fuel pump has nothing to do with the transmission.
actually it strains the fuel pump when it is not sucking up enough fuel. It can burn the pump out
@@skylerbrehm1443 but it won't hurt the transmission
Serious question: is using HOLD regularly on red lights damaging in any way?
I don't know much about automatics, I prefer the manual any day, but won't idling your car in the drive not wear or over heat you clutch? Isn't it similar to sitting on the clutch in a manual while idling
Remember everyone The “R” is for race mode.
And the N is for Nitrous
2:25 why would you need to do emergency manouvers when standing still..?
car crash intersection
An ambulance coming at you
when you drop a lit smoke on your crotch at the lights and you forgot to put it in N.......?
My dads cars manual specifically discusses why you can shift to neutral downhill and also neutral drop
Guilty of the first one but literally it's so rare I do this.... I'll have to be patient now. Thanks for the tips
