does and automatic transmission get scrwed whn u peel out with it. by doing this i mean putting it in Neutral, reving it, thn shifting into drive. my friend told me tht as long as its an electrical trani (whn flooring it, the car will down shift to get better torque), tht the trani wont get messed up. ive done it a few times and my trani's fine but i was wondering if this can screw it up (which i think so) or it doesnt hurt it.

 

Neutral drops are horrible for you transmission. Dont do it anymore, and punch your friend in the nuts for telling you that.

 

omg, yessssssssss my friend did that in his explorer and boom 1500 dollars worth of a new trannsmission.... "dont do it" couple more times and you will be buying a new tranny

 

lol i thought i could do that and... no but i wanna know how i can get it to spin the tires i wanna do a burnout soooo bad....

 

and no more peeling out...unless its in a empty parking lot, your tranny will get back at you

 

do it with water under your tires

 

Oh good god. That's the best way to ruin a transmission.

 

if you are looking for anexcuse to do a manual swap, then by all means go right ahead

 

Put a water/bleach mix on your tires, then just stomp on it. If you want to keep going, run your windsheild washer hoses to your tire wells and spray for added effect. Supposedly using Mountain Dew for this step turns the smoke green, but I haven't ever tried it.

There are a hundred and one things you can do to do a burnout... neutral bombing your tranny is probably the worst of them all.

 

Here's a fun story to illustrate this point:

Back in the mid 60s, when they were kids, my dad and uncle were driving around in their dads car. It had one of those push-button automatic transmissions. Like, a button for D, P, N, etc. My then-16-year-old uncle was driving, and at a stopsign, he said, "Hey. I wonder what would happen if I put it in N, stepped on the gas and then pressed D suddenly." So he revved up the car and pressed D and SCCRRRRVVVWWWRRRPMM! The car bucks and shuts down. The push the car into a neighbors driveway and as they're moving it, they see a little pile of gearteeth on the ground.
Luckily, their father hated that car and was looking for an excuse to get rid of it. "We don't know what happened," they said. "It just died on us."
