Shifting an auto? - Page 6

I had a friend that had a 2 dr V6 Accord.. The thing was nice..,. He was stupid though.. Every day after school (this was awhile ago) he would pull out like a moron and shift his auto.. I told him all the time.. You are killing your transmission.. Acually its slower when he did it because the thing took loads of time to shift after he put it into the next gear.. Well about a month Later he had to buy a New Tranny.. I just laughed at him..

dude just put a chip in it I did, makes the automatic faster of acceleration,

I know I don't have an SPI, but this is more to do with shifting than with the engine anyway...

The owners manual begs to differ...

Selecting 2 (Second) at higher speeds will cause the transaxle to downshift to second gear at the appropriate vehicle speed.

1 (First)
Provides maximum engine braking.
Allows upshifts by moving gearshift lever.
Will not downshift into 1 (First) at high speeds; allows for 1 (First) when vehicle reaches slower speeds.

That seems to say moving the gearshift into drive from second at anytime is fine, and the transmission will decide when its ok to shift once the shifter has been moved into position.

What you posted does not disagree with my statement that moving from 1st to 2nd makes it shift right then.

The words 2 (Second) "This position is for second gear only" supports that statement.

Shifting from drive to 2nd is another story that I did not address in my "1st to 2nd" statement.

touche, didn't read that close enough.

I was doing 60 in 2nd and hit the shifter by mistake to first. nothing happened , i thought some thing was wrong. it stayed in 2nd. but reading wat was above i see why it did that.

HAHAHA your power shifting ...... thats ridiculous...

those tranny's are not made for that, your going to destroy it..... Old school muscle cars had 4 speeed tranny's that were bullet proof and this allowed them to control wheel spin on take off...

I think its an electronic shift trany. I shifted my auto a couple times just to see how much diffrence it made in acceleration if you shift it down after being at a sertin speed it won't gear down till its safe to. I was going down the 401 in the rain and an accedent happened in front of me I had to stop quick and my first reaction was gear down i was at 120km/h and it didn't shift down till i was at 100km/h. I couldn't stop in time but managed to avoid it.
