Default Is this hurting....?

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.

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.

As all these guys have said, you are asking for a blown tranny if you keep ramming it through to Drive from neutral.

A 'friend' bought a '96 BMW 318i Auto for his first car a few years ago, and was doing the exact same thing. Rev the nackers off it in neutral, then force it into drive. All for a wheelspin that lasted a whole 2 yards.

Surely enough, the last time he tried it the whole lot blew. Oil and debris was shed all over the underside of the car. It turned out he had also fubared the diff which just added to the problems. The car never saw the road again. Bit of a crappy way to blow £5k!!
