Truck driver for years now, and when they started mainstreaming the automatic transmissions in our industry, we thought oh hell, here we go, but, it turns out that it's much better then you would think! I had a truck years ago that got 4 to 6 miles to the gallon, and that was pretty standard (no pun intended), but now, these new transmissions get us 9 to 11, even loaded! Once you get past the control issue, and get comfortable with the truck doing the thinking for you, it's gets easier to deal with! Great video

They broke the driver door open and tore up my ignition with a screwdriver, they then even got it running and drove it on a trailer and took it somewhere to unload all my belongings and then dump the truck back on the road, literally just let the straps loose and put it in neutral and watched it roll off onto the middle of the highway. I never had my passenger door to unlock but when I came to the wrecking yard both doors would open. Those guys where assholes, but they sure where badass assholes

The mechanic guy told her that she was super close for destroying the car.

@PatTheRiot 3 жыл бұрын

If the car had normal life-time mileage she got scammed. Transmission fluid turns color that doesn't mean its burned or done for. Most modern transmissions use sealed boxes with "life-time" fluid. Which only means until garanty if out. So about 150 000kms. I would change the transmission fluid around that on a car, 10 years or 125-150 000 kms. 50 000 km if you tow.

Bought a Chevy Malibu V6 a while back for $1k off of a used car lot. It could barely shift into reverse. Transmission fluid was black. Changed the fluid & filter, and it shifted seamlessly for the past 4 years with no issues. Overhauled the engine over the summer, and maintenanced the transmission at the recommended 30k mile mark. The fluid was pale brownish-red. Not bad, not great. Next change will be after 20k miles.

Thank you, I was going to say the same thing. Except, why did you limit this process to CVTs? This suggestion should apply to ALL automatic transmissions. I believe this saves wear on the parking sprag. I always cringe if when taking the transmission out of “Park”, feel the resistance on the sprag as it slides, and then hearing the “thunk” as the pressure is released.

@MonkeyChocolate 3 жыл бұрын

Additional tips: release or pull handbrake when its on Neutral, then safe to shift to the rest of gears you want. This tip is to prevent any damages on parking lock mechanism, so all the weight of the car is hold by emergency brake on priority. I was told by VW Audi Revo tuner long time ago.

Hello Scotty, grettings from Swiss. Is always a pleasure to watch your videos and listen religiously your honnest advices. In my case, i change prevently the colland fluid, breakes fluid, power steering fluid and transmission fluid every 60'000 kilometers (37'000 miles) or every 2-3 years. The same for the timing belt. The last 20 years Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Fiat, Opel, PSA group, VW group, they have a lot of problems. The timing belts broke down around 50'000 kms (31'000 miles). Just a few persons buying me an old car. They always says the cars are looking good. But after 2 years problems are starting, and they charge me for their own faults. That people just do not make the half of the maintenance i do. I explain them, but nothing change. Everyone have got the free choice. Take care Scotty. Have a nice route...

If you are idling at a stop light is it a good idea to put the auto transmission in neutral?

@gueromelendez 3 жыл бұрын

Doesnt matter for a stop light. More if you wait for somebody and idle for 15 mins, but it is relaxing to take your foot off brake.

At 16 years old I was driving a '73 Olds Cutlass that had drum brakes. Went through some water and the car would not stop as I approached a stop light. So I put it in park. My dad about had a stroke. But the car stopped!

Great Video Scotty. I have taught a couple of youngsters to drive manuals. One was 17 and he learned in the 2011 Mustang GT I had at the time and then drove my 347 stroker Supercharged 6 speed 1995 Mustang GTS. He is well versed in any manual trans car.

When I was working at a Ford dealership I would get a lot of half sales (meaning splitting the sale) as I was one of the only few salesmen could drive a stick. Been driving sticks off and on since the 70's which included a three on a tree.

I find this almost incomprehensible. They were CAR SALESMEN, for goodness sake. IMHO, you do not learn to drive unless you can use a manual transmission. I had never driven an automatic car until I was 19.

My daughter also took her drivers test with a manual. I am 71 and when I bought my last new car, a 2019 Corolla Hatchback, I made sure it had a 6 speed manual. A manual is more fun to drive and keeps my mind more active; I love it!

Manuals are no fun in heavy traffic. However, the automatics now get better fuel economy and allow more distracted drivers on the highways. I do miss the stick.

Getting stuck in neutral! The old GM column shifters had a fiber disc that seperated the shifting rods under the hood. If they were worn and you shifted to neutral(like at a tollbooth) you might find the shifter would lock up. You then had to open the hood to reach in and unjam them. Fun times. 😥
