Registered: May 2002	Re: tips on launching techniques Fri, 21 June 2002 16:09 I dunno, me and my brother both went through our Ls and our Ps on my mums auto pintara, and we thrashed the crap out of it. Great car. We hardly took the g'box out of 2nd. I still remember the day my brother told me about keeping it in 2nd, from then on, I've always used the 2nd in an auto. 1st I don't waist my time with, as keeping your foot planted through first is hardly gonna get you over the speed limit, but keeping it in 2nd gives you the power to keep going up hills (plus there's alot of them in my area) and keeps you from rolling over the speed limit. Of course, when you get to hills 'n that, you shift to drive & use the brakes, but I reckon its changing gears in an auto that wears it out. At least it does the auto fluid. The overdrive button is the same thing, your control over 4th gear in a 4spd auto, it's the people that drive around with overdrive on and in drive, that wear out their g'boxs with constant gearchanging, and slow us down when they try to stay in 3rd or 4th when they get to hills. But my original point being, my mums old nissan pintara and her current 4A-FE corolla have put up with plenty of engine braking, and the pintara in particular, as it copped the worst thrashing (you know what P platers get up too, well times that by 2) never showed a hint of trouble with the g'box.
