Completely stoppin to switch gears?
Hey guys,
I have kinda of a dumb question but when you guys are in reverse ad moving backwards, do you guys completely stop before putting the car into drive or do you guys just switch it to drive while still in motion. Does it really affect your transmission if you don't make a complete stop when switching gears? I would like to know because my parents are always tellin me to completely stop. They shift like granny's. The reason why i usually shift while still in motion is because in school parking lots, you have to be quick to get out.
So i would just like to know if you guys completely stop or not and does it really affect my transmission?
Thank, Vince

its a bad habit but sometimes I have a verry slight roll when I am parallel parking and I switch to neutral from REV or D and have that roll
But in my case I don't think there should be an issue going from Reverse or Drive into neutral while rolling.
Do you go straight from drive to reverse? without stopping?

It's time to let the chirren leave the parking lot and leave when their impatience has let them go out and run red lights and drive like buttholes.

seriously, if you dont have time to stop and change gears, you dont have time to drive. you should just beam yourself back and forth to class buddy.
and another thing, your parents change gears like grannies cause they paid for the car and know its value. apparently you were givin a car and do not care the consequences of your actions. hope you do well in school, you will need it...
