That remark will be interpreted by many as "I haven't had enough. Please pile on more." Welcome to The Intertubes.

You found out ... and a lot more. :)

You're not from around here, are ya?

The remark removed.

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice.

Actually I had googled about the topic before I put this thread, but I failed to find out exact result on Zs.

Then I think you at least learned a valuable lesson about phrasing your question. For example, it would have been a totally legitimate thread if you had said something like, "I know obviously switching from D to R at 50 mph is going to be bad for the transmission. Many transmission have sensors or other means to protect itself if the car is accidentally shifted from D to P. Does anyone know whether the Z transmission has this protection?"

Another good tip is look for a thread already on the subject and post in there. You won't get as much $hit if you make a stupid post, and a 5 year old thread revival is always better than starting a new thread :twocents:

That looks like my cat.

I concur.... and record it.... PLEASE!!

I would be embaressed too ;)

My old mid 80's taxi cab made a clicking sounds when I put it into park at ~20 mph.

I can't be the only one tempted to press the Start/Stop engine button at 80mph, just to see what happens.

You enter a time warp

I dont even like cats but the cat looks cool. Looks like hes eating at the dinner table lol

He's a chill cat.

Doesn't do anything at 5 mph coasting.

while tempted to create a second username before replying...


so was coasting down a hill to a red light after shifting 7AT -> neutral today, after 10 seconds or more i glanced at my stereo because the display was lite up (normally it goes black unless making adjustments) and noticed the backup camera was on, glance at shifter and pulled it back from R -> N.... derrrrrrrr

it had done nothing, luckily, the AT computer is way smarter than I am....

so dere's no lock out feature when going into reverse? usually AT cars require u to push a button or pull a trigger to engage reverse..

Well, i remember doing an AT fluid flush and while it was up on the lift, I was doing the standard PRND cycling. Well, as i let the car go through 1,2,3,4 and so on, I blanked out and shifted into park thinking the car was stopped. Well, the wheels were still rolling at 25 mph. Made a terrible noise and i immediately pressed the brakes. As far as I know, there was no damage done.


I've done this again before too where i was driving and minding my own business until a spider started rappeling down in front of my face as I was driving near my neighborhood. Freaked out and pulled over immediately and shifted into park as I was around 10 mph slowing down. same sound again, might have been the parking pin or something. Nonetheless, I use my handbrake to make sure the car is parked now.

Yes, there is a button to make it idiot proof.... They didn't take into account for my Idiot v.2.0 upgrades. I need a "Are you sure you want to proceed with this ill-advised action?" Siri voice.

I'll blame the pups... was just leaving the vet with 2 of my four legged pug kids (one in pet bed on passenger side floor ( she's 16+ and blind so not missing looking out window, but still managed to pee thru pet bed& a towel to soak the, luckily, plastic backed floor mat)) and Remus who loves barking at everything out every window, who was harnessed to front seat but still tried to sit in my lap every 45 seconds all the way home (at least they moved the emergency flasher button; in the 350 I had the flashers on every 45 seconds all the way home)

"we stopped for a BURGER!"-Remus

Maybe the OP thinks that if D is for drive and R is for reverse then P must be for passing? I say throw caution to the wind and try it out.

This never happens in a manual. :stirthepot:

I guess commonsense is quickly fleeing this forum as it does in the real world.

here's what you do. test it out and tell us the results.

if you're too scared to then you're just a little wimp. do it for science. do it for the community.

do it.

do it.

do it before the lock.

On a more serious note, any and all autos should do nothing if you throw it into reverse or park when going forward at speed. This is basically due to the torque converter allowing slip until the wheel speed/engine speed get to a safe slow point to where the TC will grab again. Of course, this puts a lot of stress and wear on the TC, possibly burning up the TC and needing replace.

Basically the same thing as putting 600+ hp through the stock clutch rated for only 300 hp. It will simply slip and smoke until you come down on the revs and let it grab at a much more manageable speed/power output.

Newer computer controlled cars don't rely on the TC for such abuse as the computers are programmed to protect against such stupid acts of mankind.

Much easier to downshift into 2nd rather than 4th though...:driving:


(Turns VDC back on to prevent thread drift)

Why would you do that to her???

in that case... "P" means Power Mode and "R" means "Race Mode"

This girl I dated in college had a new dodge neon 2002, her parents graduation gift lol...

It had the most annoying over assisted power steering/no steering feeling, so I'd get car sick whenever she drove, and her driving was just too aggressive for what that POS was designed for. Every single trip led to an argument about the car and/or her driving style.

So after a few hours drive to crater lake, I had enough, and ended up driving as I was going to "show her how it's done,"

My first "lesson" for her was to show her it can actually take off fast if you shift manually, however, I neglected to think about the fact that the automatic gear shifter required far less effort than my pos 4 speed mazda I had at the time.

With beautiful crater lake in front of us on a medium straight away:

Slammed on the gas in 1st gear, redline, time to shift: BAM! Right into F'n PARK! at 35-40mph.... the transmission made this nice CLANK CLANK CLANKKKKKK sound, dash lights lit up, slowed to stop, car died, and she's going crazy screaming at me.

The car went on to last another 10 years, and just had to be thrown in neutral, then park, then neutral, then drive, and it started right up just fine.

She drove the rest of the way, and never let me drive that POS again. :ugh2:

Evidently it had some kind of lockout that never fully engaged park, but it didn't sound pretty.

So did this girl end up marrying you? ;)

Funny story!

i saw some lady at my kid's bus stop toss her AT in park while she was still moving cause her kids were late for the bus.

it did not sound good... lots of clicking until stopped. but shes been driving the same car the last 2-3yrs.

Any particular reason why this thread still exists?

cause AT is faster dan MT

That may or may not be true, but I wouldn't give you two cents for an auto, no matter what it is or how it's implemented. Exactly what turned me away from the Alfa 4C which I "thought" I would get one day.

here we go again :icon18::icon18:

Yep, newb already took the bait. :rofl2:


Where is FP?

"what oil should i use?" :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Hope you guys aren't referring to me as the "newbe". That's the last thing I am. New to the site, yes. New to cars and their inner-workings, not hardly.

Noob

I honestly couldn't remember if there is a lockout feature or not. I had to remember to check for it when I got back in my Z. And it was so "automatic" (heh heh) that I forgot to check for quite a while--and still couldn't remember. But eventually, I remembered to check. Sure enough, there is a trigger that must be pulled.

Conclusion: wtf about worrying about whether it is possible??? Why would it even occur to someone that it might be?

Yeah, okay. LOL

wrong thread ;)

Nope! We split up, both moved, then she crapped out a kid with this loser guy and facebook stalked me several years later til I got rid of facebook.
