    Tip: If you park the car on a uphill or downhill - put It In neutral, press the handbrake and then put It In P. And when you drive off that uphill or downhill park spot, put It In D or R and that’s when you reliease the parking brake so your transmission won’t have that “kick” which everyone with a older car transmissions has felt

    I will say this because I’m a mechanic with 50+ years in the industry. Driving in city traffic with long wait times at each light I shift my automatic transmissions into neutral position so the transmission will free wheel and flush oil through the clutches and bands then right before the light changes I shift back into the drive position while the hole time my foot is on the brake pedal. This method speeds up the rotational shaft speed of the transmission- in turn speeds up the transmission oil pump that speeds up oil flow through the transmission to keep clean fluid running through your transmission and help lower transmission fluid temperature lower that helps keep are the parts in your transmission cooler . It also helps your engine last longer because your engine is idling under load at the stop light at low rpm for up to 1.5 minutes. A lot of parts in a engine are lubricated by secondary oil splash off and at idle rpm your oil system pressure is low and which diminishes oil splash . So that’s way I always let my engine and transmission free wheel in neutral at stop lights.

    I usually have my transmission fluid changed about one a year. A lot can happen in 60K miles. As I have a pickup with a traditional drivetrain, I also have the differential serviced as well. Keeping ALL the oils and fluids fresh will definitely increase the lifespan of your vehicle.

    You can't accidentally go into Reverse by simply bumping it.
    It will go into Neutral by bumping it, but you have to push the button on the side (like you did when demonstrating) in order to put it into Reverse.
    If you are stuck in traffic, leave it in Drive. You may need to move quickly if something happens.

    I once shifted my 1989 Toyota long bed pickup into reverse on the freeway at a normal freeway speed (Downtown L.A., non-rush hour time). It was only for a second or less, but scared the xxxx out of me as it locked the tires and shook the entire truck violently. Luckily, it didn’t slide to the side or spin out. After I popped it back into drive, it rode normally and I never had any issues with the transmission. Didn’t realize how lucky I was until this video-probably due to it being an older Toyota built in Japan.

    Aerobics for your transmission. With no traffic behind you Put the transmission in low and drive around very slowly for a minute or so then shift up to the higher gear and same thing for a couple of minutes. Put it in full drive and move on. You worked out that transmission.

My dad came with me, and he’s a School bus mechanic and with me watching all your videos, we picked through everything, only downside is that there was a shudder after I signed the paperwork…but I went home and looked up the most common cause of shudder. I want to say thanks to that random commenter who owned two of the Endeavors that lasted to 300,000 miles that he just changed the ATF and its fixed because that’s what we did and it worked, runs and works great. So definitely change the ATF fluid regularly

    My idiot friend rammed my truck from drive into reverse in the drive way going about 10mph. Never let friends drive your cars

    A feature I appreciate from Subaru autos is that the gear lever can slide between drive and neutral without pushing down the button, but not into reverse. Comes in handy when you're coasting through traffic.

      You're face is handy in traffic. I see it and think oh there's that guy factory setting prevented from switching into reverse going 80 on the highway down the mountain.
