All AUTO Tranny drivers when you shift from gear to gear do you shift a dead stop or do you just shift while you are rolling..

 

i think i shift while i am rolling and i have auto....

 

I shift from a dead stop most of the time. Only takes slightly longer and anything that might help prolong the life of my tranny is good.

 

depends. if I am reversing, I would stop completely before going into drive but if Im already crawling in neutral in the direction Im going then I would just shift it

 

i try to do all shifting from stops but going from P R or N into drive it takes so long for the gear to engange i sometimes hit the gas too soon so the car jerks abruptly...very annoying Meanwhile when i shift into R 2 or 1 it engages right away

 

i make sure i stop dead when backing up...other people think im nuts

 

uhm, I don't normally manually shift except from R-D or what-not. And that is ALWAYS at a complete stop. Major rule in my family with auto cars lol.
