Chase Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 There's nothing wrong here, just a theoretical question. What would happen if you were to spin an auto, and it rolled backwards whle in Drive? would it screw the box up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulse Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I've wondered this question myself before.. I would assume it would pop out of gear into neutral? But that's just a guess.. -p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I 'suppose' I must have actually done that when I put it backwards thru a FENCE ??? One minute I was in "D" (but doing about 40-60 in 2nd/3rd ?) then the kickdown>>>2ndTurbo>>>voila ! ! ! it went backwards onto a pavement and straight back thru the fence. Once I'd stopped shaking... it was still in "D" but 'stalled' (?) just put into "P" and it started OK......... NOT exactly what you're talking about, but,........... (you mean: would it drag-down below idle, or what ??? that's what mine may have actually done, what about a REALLY steep hill-start ? similar ? - can't say I've needed the handbrake on ANY hill...YET, so I couldn't say) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 mine used to always hold its position on a hill and on flat it used to drive forward slowly. but with tc fitted it rolls back on a hill and you have to give it more revs to get it going. and spins wheels if you give it too much gas. nothing to worry about. driving an auto is great. been driving my manual astra and its crap in traffic jams.

Aerotop Dave Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Awww, boo. I'll miss my 'pootling speed' if I get RLTC fitted then. Great for going round carparks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 The A'Con gives you an 'EXTRA' 4/5mph Poodling-Speed (when the tickover gets 'raised' ! ! ) Two-Speed "Idle-Cruise" ? ? (DAVE, I think ? Markie mean True Conversion ?? not Traction Control ?? Is that right Mark ???? ) [AFAIK RLTC doesn't alter yer Idle etc !?!? only yer Wheel-Spin ?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
