supra joe Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Well I know it doesn't go from D to 1 lol, a tyre blowout and I pulled the shifter back and mashed the diff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'll be the sensible one. Shifting between the 3 settings is just like using a 3 speed manual gearbox for accelerating and engine braking. The only damage it does is general wear and tear from abusing it, but its not going to go up in a puff of smoke anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Brake pads are cheaper than gearboxes is what I was always told. I flick between 'D' (with OD off) and '2' when round town but wouldn't use 'L'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yes, of course you can, but try not to put it in an inappropriate gear for the road speed that you are doing, ESPECIALLY in Manual mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
