How Many 7AT Drivers Have Done This...

Luckily he did not shift to "R"or "P" or else good luck to him,it is okay to shift to "N",but must let the revs comes down before shifting back to "D"....to prevent damage to the autobox..

haha. that would suck! although i dont think you can pass N unless your foot is on the brake somehow. i def let the revs come down to idle lol. no neutral bombs on this car. i save that for rentals (jk).

"N" can goes to "R" or "P" without stepping on the brakes,but needs to press the button on the gear selector...

I've done it in my Rsx many times. Don't feel bad. though I tend to leave it in manual now to prevent that.

P.S. Its really embarrassing when you have a loud exhaust and do that

I got you beat by a mile. I was in my 370 talking on the phone using the bluetooth system. I get to a red light and im just yapping yapping yapping away. The person I am talking to says bye. So what do I do? Instead of pushing the hang up button on the steering wheel I push the Start button on the dash! Why did I do this you ask? Who the hell knows! Right after I turn the car of a second later the damn light turns green! I got so flustered after I shut it off I took my foot of the break and didn't even realized it. I kept pushing the button to start the car up, people are blowing their horns at me, and screaming out their windows. FINALLY, I compose myself and put my foot on the brake, start the car, and fly out of there.

Now that was a pretty bad blond moment!

last night I was driving and it was raining pretty hard. My rear window and side mirors had fogged up badly some how when they were clear moments earlier. So I approach a red light. I push the defrost button for the rear window. Then I look at the door controls for the side view mirrors and notice the button to defrost them is not there. So I began to look around the dash for the button. I become really irritated and I begin frantically looking for this darn button! After a few minutes since my search had began, I popped into reality, noticing my rear window was defrosted, my side mirrors were defrosted, and this ugly tahoe with this mexican dude yelling at me basically saying wtf is your problem. Apparently I had held up the traffic in my lane through the green light and missed it myself. Mine is a 6mt however.

Still haven't found the stupid button... lol kidding.

I've done it.

Felt incredibly stupid for it too. At least I didn't do anything BAD.

yep occasional mis-shift- lack of focus I think. Overall 7AT great choice for me- long heavy traffic commute- sit back enjoy some music but when open twisty roads paddles are a lot of fun- sort of best of both

I've never done that, but I've done sorta the reverse - I've put it in manual mode, pulled up to a red light, and when the light turned green forgotten that it was in manual mode and that I needed to shift from first to second. Suddenly realizing that your car is revving really LOUDLY and remembering that you need to shift is an unnerving experience for sure!

Do that more then I like to admit, amazing how fast the rev limiter kicks in!!!
