OK...I read somewhere that neutral dropping and gear ****ing an auto-tranny is actually good for your car...?

Ha, ha, sorry, bringing up an old thread. No, the real question is...and I heard this from a mechanic who use to work in the BMW plant in germany...is that resting your hand on your shift **** puts preasure on the gears, screwing up some thing or another.

Well, maybe this was only common for BMW's or cars made in the 80's...? I dunno, but I've never heard anything like it...maybe someone else knows whats up?

 

ive heard of that bending shift forks inside the tranny on nissans.

 

Wow... keep trying that and see if it does anygood for your car. BTW, go jap-slap the living **** out of the person who told you that. I from first hand experience learned that neutral dropping isnt a pretty bill once its broke.

 

remmy, dear, you need to read past the first sentence before replying.

 

I often rest my hand on the shift ***, havent had any probs yet. I think hondas are a littlel to modern and well built to worry about a little thing such as resting your arm on the shifter.

 

well i can understand that over time if the car is in neutral and you rest your hand on the shift *** it can tend to make the gears lightly rub.......then that can wear down the gears and give you some problems(for mt not at). at least thats what i was told when learning how to drive.

 

i no that if you have your car parked and put rest your hand on the shift **** it makes a louder noise then when you take it off
