Re: Re: Extending the life of automatic trannys

i was once a passenger in a car sitting at a light when....the clutch cable/linkage let go. we jumped foreward about 5 feet! luckily, we were the first car in line, with cross traffic about 10 feet away.

 

another reason to slip it into neutral with a standard!

It might
stem from a safety idea for manual shift cars whereby the idea is that
if you have your car in gear at a stop light and someone rearends you,
it could dislodge your foot that is on the clutch and cause your car
to leap into the intersection.  Somewhat far fetched, but it could
happen.
