Hi,
my first post, but I've been lurking for a few weeks...
I have a automatic 1990 sentra (b12, ga16i) and I have a few questions about the tranny. I just discovered autoshifting (is that the correct term for manually shifting an automatic?) and it makes it seem like I am driving a totally different car.
Is it ok to do this for daily driving? My car usually has no pull in the 40-60mph range but if I keep it in 2nd until around 55-60 (about 5000rpms) it is not bad at all. And for city driving, I see no reason to let the car shift to 3rd ever. Is it safe for the tranny to leave it in 2nd in the city?
Also, is it ok to (ocassionaly) rev the engine and then drop it into first?
Thanks,
drubin
