actually, seldom use the N. only maybe when waiting in the car for a while. i was taught when i was a young boy not to move the auto shift @ every start/stop, if not auto gear will up the lorry faster.

You are absolutely right. Not many people realize that the most damage (wear & tear) is done to the tranny when shifting from P or N to D or R. Another words , every time it engages from N or P, the 'bite' that you feel in the transmission is actually damaging already. The more you do it, the faster it wears & the shorter the lifespan, save for other abuses like doing reverse flick in James Bond movies.:bounce:

N is used when you need to tow the car.. push the car.. or when u jack up and need the wheels to be able to spin

[Guest subaru67]

only for towing... as per what bro has said always changing from D to N and fron N back to D is damaging the tranny

Always ensure that the car has come to a complete stop before engaging any gear. Why is the car at N when reversing? Did she reverse the car & then put to N to roll backwards a little before engaging D? If it is...there's double damage here...:shocked:

she changes gear quite quickly... from Reverse to Drive while the car is still rolling backwards slightly.... :shocked:

[Guest io5885]

best is for auto-geared vehicle to come to a complete stop before engaging in changing of gears... :nod:

[Guest kloy]

but i've told her not to do it already... hope she takes my advice...

[Guest io5885]

Time to send her to Mercs Driving Experience for retraining. :biggrin:

[Guest skid]

most manufacturers usually recommend that car be at complete stop before changing gears from R to D and vice versa. same logic applies for manual trans
