being and idiot revved my auto on neutral slamed it in D smopked the tyres showing off. come to jusntion went to pull away and felt like the car was in neutral. switched off engine back on and seemed ok. have i shagged me gearbox.

OUCH! never ever do that! Doing a netral drop will kill your transmition propper quick, the Z box isnt meant for it at all.

 

If you feel you have to then all the way on the brake while in drive then floor it, that will smoke your tyres out, still not brill for the car but much better than doing that.

BTW excessive left foot braking and accelerating in drive/1st will kill fry your torque convertor eventually, so if you must try and show off by burning tyres dont do it much, none of the above is 'good' for the car at all.

Just hope its not fecked before billing. i will have to see on the way home from work. Ive never ever done that in an auto before and hope it wasnt a costly mistake. looked cool though lol.

Quite often when you do that kind of thing - burnouts or donuts in an auto Z, the auto box controller has a fit and loses drive/gears :nono:

Switching the ignition off and back on usually clears it :slap:

Don't ask me how I know ;)

Oh my lordy, I can't believe you did that. I would be very very careful with the box now. Just imagine the amount of energy that you sent straight to the gears..........

the gearbox only lasts about 1000miles anyway lol

it dont need no encouragement to break mate
