In a vehicle with automatic transmission in normal condition we drive in D position. And in my vehicle there is a button to turn off OD which I use in heavy traffic and when driving up a hill. And I have realized that there is no use of turning off this OD when we drive down a hill because the engine brake will apply only if the gear in 2 or L. Now is it safe to change the gear to 2 or L while moving in a speed like more than 40kmph?
I have heard that in automatic transmission, vehicle should be stopped to change the gears otherwise it could damage the gearbox (I am referring to forward gears, this should be true for Reverse gear) So is this condition still there for vehicles like Nissan FB 14 (1997)?
Also in Suzuki Swift (beetle) like cars there is no OD on off button instead the gearshift should be moved to position 3 or D-3. Then is it safe to change it while moving.
Hey Guys,
Sorry for the downtime over the past two days! We’ve been migrating servers and upgrading the site. You might still experience occasional outages as we fine-tune things.
Thanks for your patience! 🙌
Does anyone know a place to repair/service a seat reclining (mechanical) system? Seems both driver side and passenger side seats are kind of stuck.. Hoping to take it to a seat cushioning/carpeting place to get checked.. any other option?
Trump imposes tariffs on China and they impose higher tariffs in US products. For the EV batteries China is the biggest provider of earth materials and it will push US EV vehicle prices up. We are going to see a nice game coming up between two world superpowers.
