02 SL1 auto shifting question
I have question that my Saurn dealer was unable to answer (amazing huh
?). It's an 02 SL1 automatic. We have D, 2, 1. Now i understand that D allows shifting into higher gears, whereas 1 & 2 limit the gear shifts to lower gears, going up or down hills, higher revs lessing the strain on the engine. I have a few very steep short hills I sometimes go to. Always at the bottom I stop the car and shift from D to 1 to go up. I am wondering, do I have to stop ? can I just shift the car while in D to 1 or 2? The reason is that sometimes there's an SUV or more powerful vehicle behind me and I don't like having to stop on this narrow road just to change gears. Thanks in Advance |

02 SL1 auto shifting question
Yes, you do have Overdrive, there is no "O" around the D , the overdrive is
completely automatic. If you are not pulling a trailer, there is no need to manually shift your auto tranny into a lower gear and you could well be damaging your tranny doing that. It is feasable if you are going up or down a steep mountain road, but not on a hill, not at all necessarry. Want more power? get a short air ram intake. marx404 |
