WTK: Using overdrive to gear-down

[demented]

Okay, I want to know if at speeds of say above 100Km/hr I turn off the overdrive switch and let the tranny gear down while releasing the gas pedal is wise? Is this ok to do or will it eventually damage the tranny? Vehicle is a B13

[QG]

No it will not, it may feel or sound harsh to the tranny but it will not affect the tranny. My father has a b14 for like 6 yrs now and we does take off the O/D button to geardown at times, and the car going good still. Remember too that automatic transmissions can take alot more jammin' than a gear box.

really?. can you post some more info on that?

[Dave]

^^^mine can
in the stock form, HELL NO, an auto will never be able to take more jamming than a manual
gearing down using the OD is no probs, for longevity sake, don't do it all the time

[scotty_buttons]

^^^so u modded ur tranny to burn out from neutral to drive safely? i jus heard that u can do that

[wagonrunner]

^^^
strange, that you state as the purpose of his modded tranny.

and yes swami, i'm speaking about stock forms. hell, if i forge my gears, etc, which one stronger?

[Dave]

why would u want to rev in N and drop in D?
no mine with the modds wasn't made to do that

right now i am willing to try anything with mines, wanna come test, forge away

[speed king]

wat bout kicking down hard an juss before the gear changes let go of d x an let d car juss keep rolling wil dat damage it??

[demented]

^^^ I find myself doing that at times too...I don't know why I do it though Hope this will not cause damage either.

[Dave]

again, why would u want to do that?

[demented]

^^^ speed king does probably do it to make noise with he big exhaust barrel I dont have no noisy barrel.

[equipped2ripp]
