3) WANT YOUR TRANSMISSION
TO LIVE LONGER? HERE ARE TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Don’t Leave The Shift Lever In
Park (P) Without The Parking Brake On. If another vehicle were to even tap yours in the front or
back while parked it could cause a part inside your transmission
(the parking pawl) to break leaving your vehicle to roll down the
street unattended.
2. Don’t Downshift To “Brake” At
Traffic Lights.
A forced downshift at high engine RPM causes excessive wear on transmission
friction components (clutches and bands).
