driving automatics

[hippy]

is it ok to stick an auto in first then take off til u reach a high rpm, say about 7-8k, go up to second, reach a high rpm again then stick it in drive reach a high rpm then press the overdrive?. my mate reckons that its not good for the transmission and can screw it up. Is he correct??

[blind_elk]

probably not appropriate to be taking it out to the red line, but I always drive an auto like a manual. maybe stretch it out to 4k then shift to the next highest gear. change down a gear (or 2) coming into a corner.

I like to be in charge of the power delivery.

If the auto is on a jap car, just press the "power" button. This will take your revs out to redline before changing, if you have your foot planted. If your foot is not planted then there is no need to go to the redline. This is quicker than trying to change yourself.

But if you do this to go around corners faster, then what you are doing is the only way to keep revs up. Or buy a manual gearbox.

Thank you! very Much! Now I have to find that normal Non-turbo R33 GTS25 skyline has RE4R01A trannies which means, they are all same GTS4 or not!

I wonder if turbo GTS25T has same Trannies

also is there other number after the serieal number like;

RE4R01A RC43

cheers

Joe

[MegaGTS4]

You're right

RE4R01A RC43

[Pva_Glue]

which means R32GTS-4 Transmisson is same as R33 GTS-4

cool

cheers

Joe

[Pva_Glue]

Can any of you guys confirm that turbo skylines have same AUTO TRANNIES and Non-turbo skylines?

Can someone with turbo auto skylines can check their JAP plate and post the number?

cheers

If you go to page 11 in the "The Sky Is The Limit" pdf file floating around the SDU forum it lists the transmission details as follows:

RE4R01A 4 speed auto

RE4R07A 4 speed auto

RE5R01A 5 speed auto

FS5R30A 5 speed manual

FS5W7 5 speed manual GTS

Apparently the "RC43" is the axle type.

Cheers,
