7 Things You Should Never Do in an Automatic Car Desc: Does your car have an automatic transmission? At first glance, driving an automatic transmission car seems easier than driving a manual. The interface of automatic vehicles is generally simpler, and new drivers don’t have to struggle with that stubborn gear lever or clutch control. But while driving an automatic may seem like it’s as easy as a walk in the park, there are still things you can do unintentionally that can ruin your transmission. So here are 7 of the most dangerous mistakes people make while driving their automatic cars! TIMESTAMPS: Never shift into D or R while your car is moving 1:19 Never shift into P until it has come to a complete stop 2:14 Don't shift into neutral (N) when stopped at a traffic light 3:30 Don't shift into neutral when going downhill 4:42 Never accelerate while your car is stopped 5:45 Don't run low on gas 6:55 Don't let water get into the transmission 7:45 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: When your brakes wear out, replacing them will cost you about $640. But if you have a bad habit of shifting from D to R while your car is still moving, prepare to shell out upwards of $3,000. When you shift into P, a pin locks a transmission shaft that's connected to the car's wheels. But if the car is still moving when you do this, the lock pin or shaft could break or wear out. It’s better to keep your car in “D” than to shift into “N” when you’re stopped at a traffic light. First, when your car is in neutral, you don’t have much control over it. So if you need to make an emergency maneuver, you may not have time to do it. Automatic transmission cars are designed to save fuel even when the gear is in “D.” So they simply cut off the fuel supply when the car is going downhill. Many drivers have a bad habit of revving their car while it’s stopped. This practice causes a lot of damage to the bands and clutches in the automatic transmission. When you shift gears, they use friction to move specific parts. Ignoring that low-fuel light could cost you a lot more than filling up the tank, especially if your car has an automatic transmission. If water gets into the transmission, you’re in trouble. Even in very small amounts, water can do such damage to a transmission that it may need to be replaced.
