Not sure if this is the right section for this, but I'm wondering... How bad is it to be neutral dropping in the 7a/t?
Lately I've been flying in tiptronic, mostly using paddleshifters, but sometimes I get lazy and leave it in "D". Since it's become a habit to either paddleshift or use the shifter to upshift, I've ended up popping her into neutral & then back into drive a few times now. Usually with a 2-4K RPM gain. Which means I'd go from approx 3-4K RPM to 5-8K and then drop it back. This is accidental
End result of such a drop is a hard kick & sometimes a tire squeal. What I'm wondering is how bad is this for my tranny? Should I worry?
