I have an automatic, by accident when I wasn't looking I put it in first and when I realized it wasn't in drive I let off the gas. It had a cool tone to it like a manual would. I did it a few more times but only up to like 2 1/2 rpms on a busy street because it backfires louder and makes a nasty tone. I've never done it before and won't because this is my daily and I can't afford to mess it up. But does this burn oil or mess anything up badly? Makes me wish I had an stick shift...

Reality sucks

No, just dont make it a habbit. Its a auto so treat it as such.

Your wishing is right my fellow maximorger...I love the sound and feel of my 5spd Max when shifting from 2nd to 3rd at 4000 RPM on a spirited run

Sadly, not good on an AT.

Ok thanks guys! Yeah, I did it down the street and the guy goes "Dude....watch out for cops, that's REALLY Loud" Seems like it takes a lot to make an auto loud.


And @ Reality Sucks, dude.....NICE max man.

Perhaps some reading or education is needed here.

Looooool... It's holding it in gear 'like a manual' hahaha :P so basically when u let go.of gas its engine breaking and.not using fuel which can make a snap crackle n.pop, it's normal and fine :-)

i downshift in my AT all the time to brake in snow and rain. why are people saying its "bad"?

They are just jealous we have full control of 1st and 2nd without a clutch But all kidding aside I freaking hate my auto. Manual maxis are calling me name

Ok if that's the case I've been taking VERY good care of my engine/trans lol.

What about bouncing it off the rev limiter? Lmao

Rcrootbeer

shift at 6-6.5k rpms if your going to get that close to the redline. It sucks when the car jolts hard after you redline it

powershifting up a auto doesnt hurt anything, but downshifting isnt really good for it
