Question: How many people know that on most original automatic transmissions you can push the gear selector up from drive without pushing the button and it will stop in neutral?

Question
Did you know that in some vehicles with an automatic transmission, the car can be driven EXACTLY the same way you'd drive a car with a manual gearbox? Not saying you have to, but that if you were so incredibly you could, with zero possibility of doing damage to the transmission once done properly.
And in case anyone wondering why do it, yes there's an advantage to doing this in certain situations.

Unintended acceleration can be addressed by depressing the brakes, shifting to neutral or park, or by turning the ignition key to ACCESSORY.kamakazi wrote:I mean it isn't necessary to stop.
And a lot of those unintended acceleration accidents could have been avoided.aaron17 wrote:Just for confirmation....at a stop from neutral to drive while pressing brakes, u dont need to press shift lever right?

Depressing the brake override many electronic throttle controls. Killing the engine will eliminate the acceleration issue and will allow the vehicle transmission to slow or stop the vehicle. This will work for automatic and manual transmissions.
US/EU/JPN safety standards for passenger cars and light trucks require braking force from a vehicle automatic transmission that is in gear.

You just need to be a superhero to do it as you need to get it going to about 40km/h before the engine will start.
If you want to see this for yourself, on a straight section of private road or track (don't do this on the public road), drive at 40km/h or above, switch the ignition off (but to the "Accessories" position so the steering wheel does not lock) while the car is still in Drive, switch the ignition back to the "On" position (do not turn the ignition switch the full way), mash the accelerator pedal and the engine will start and you are under power again.
The neutral safety switch, as part of the starter-interlock system, is a control in the starter relay circuit. The manual transmission analog is the clutch safety switch.skylinechild wrote:Rory Phoulorie wrote:You can push start an automatic transmission car.

wont the neutral safety switch prevent the car from starting as you already are in the drive gear ??

But wouldn't killing the engine make the steering go hard and also you lose brakes? Best bet I think would be to shift to neutral

I took a drive in a cerato and optima, no need to mash the brake predal to move selector...No I didn't now get meh license...Now took a drive in a Korean..
let's make it more interesting. Ever drove at around 80km and just move from drive to park.....LOL
