i was wondering how badly doin a neutral drop (reving up in neutral for autos then slamming it into drive) will damage your tranny and engine. also how much faster your 1/4 mile would be. i got a stock 2001 auto cl-p so i need all the help i can get. also i was wondering how the other auto people on the board race from a stop light. im not really the best driver so im kinda lost. do you just keep it in drive then floor it or shift down to d3 etc..... thx

 

Neutral drop will kill the transmission...real quick! It is a destructive process.

 

Man you should be banned for asking such a stupid question like that or even THINKING about doing something like that.

You probably already have done this to your car or you wouldn't be asking. The tranny will DIE in no time doing this, and guess what, the dealer won't fix it. They can tell if it was abused or not.

 

It ain't a good idea.

 

hahahaha

 

I sent your IP to the dealers in your area and they will be on the look out for you when your tranny goes... (j/k).

If you were trying to kill or maim a scumbag or other planetary wart (Bin Laden, Charles Manson, Saddam, etc), I'd suggest 20-30 neutral drops before returning the car and sending them on a long high-speed journey with heavy trucks tailgating (Spontaneous Downshift Helps Planet” – news at 10).

 

it would be more fun to slam your car into park at 50+mph or so if your just trying to tear up your trans

 

yea i did a neutral drop b4, it was no good! I was revving next to some old guy in a porsche turbo for the hell of it, and the light turned green, i didnt even think and put it into D5 while it was at still high rpm's and i got a bad wheel screech. Ill never do that again.

 

dont do it or you will find your tranny 30 feet behind your car

 

when ur tranny feels like crap.....do it like 10 times and get a new one.....lol haha

 

YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A TYPE S, STUPID!

 

Thats the worst posible action u could take for ur car , other than not warming it up in the morning (in cold NY) and taking off!!! Totally bad move .

 

I think your car should be taken away from you!

 

wut about holding onto the brakes real hard, rev it a couple thousand rpms, then release brakes?

is that better than the tranny drop? lol just wonderin not like i ever DO THAT =D

 

Torque launching?

 

Also called Power Braking?

 

:flamer: I bet you wish that you never asked such a dumb question now.

 

Well, to answer ur question....don't so will damage ur engine, tranny, torque convertor.

First off, don't what u discribe only works with a Manaual car. with Automatics, u probably get worse time then better time. What happen is ur torque convertor isn't ready to move while ur engine is already reving high, and when u drop into drive, u will get this huge jolt...then ur car will move.

 

Whoa...i never saw anyone get flamed so bad! Power braking is bad for your car too so don't do that either. i believe that it damages your torque converter. I am not mechanix though so I mightbe wrong. I just remember hearing that it was a no-no.

 

No, "brake torquing".

 

Break torquing a car is much easier on the transmission components. When I am bracket racing my Z I usually stage and then while holding the break, bring the engine right up to the "flash point" or "stall point" of the converter... This is the point where the torque converter will actualy lock up and begin sending power to the wheels.

For me on my stock transmission this is 1850rpm. For my Z28 you can purchase aftermarket torque converters that offer even higher stall speeds.

I don't exactly know what my Accord or the slushbox CL's stall at, but holding the car with the break and bring the revs up slightly will increase your time and if done for a short amount of time will not damage your transmission.

Now, yes you will see people, usually us muscle car folks torque the car way up and sit there smoking the tires... YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL NOT LIKE YOU if you just sit there burning the tires and sitting still..

there is nothing wrong with neutral drops. these guys are just ragging you cause they know your clp will keep up with their s's if you do that. go ahead, the tires just break loose, how's that going to hurt your tranny. Not a single one of them has ever killed a tranny by doing it so how would they know.

post some of your kill stories next time you try it.

 

No, but I cracked a driveshaft (or crankshaft?) in a Prelude doin' it. It is not something you really wanna try. Unless, you wanna break shit on your car!

 

I'm hoping that was a sarcastic tone he was taking....if not then lol its even funnier

 

HOW OLD ARE YOU? You are officially got a new name. "DUMBSHIT".

Neutral drops DESTROY a Auto transmission. You are stupid if you think otherwise!

No one listen to this guy, he just lost his reputation on this site. lol

 

Don't listen to all those negative talk about the bad results of slamming your gear to drive at 6000 rpm. The trick is that you have to do it right to get it to work. If you rev it to 8000 rpm and slam it real quick to drive and you must floor the gas pedal at the same time, your quarter mile ET should be somewhere in the low 13's, maybe even in the high 12's depending on your practice and skill. I would strongly suggest that you try it You just might post the lowest ET on this board All those against it are just jealous of your guts, JUST DO IT

 

this thread is hilarious, i bet we wont see him post here again for a few months

 

Yeah!! Let me try a neutral drop from 8 grand. Your CAR won't post a low 13, but the tranny (or a few gears, clutch packs, etc.) might, but I don't know if they count that. I wouldn't do this with a GOOD auto, let alone our POS.

 

worst thread evar... :shakehd:

 

Somebody close this shit... it is not fun anymore...

 

NOW CLOSED!!!
