NEUTRAL DrOPS?!?!?!

[sleepa]

i know this one person that has a SHO and he does a neutral drop every once and a while where he revs his engine up and then drops it down into drive..and lays on the gas......is this bad for the engine, if so........how bad is it?????what can all happen to the tranny, exc. if he keeps doin it???????????????????l8a

 

[SHOfun 93]

One word....DESTRUCTION!...tranny will wave bye bye soon if he keeps it up...

 

[jthomas68]

Ladies and Gentlemen,i give you the Official ******* of September.Tell your friend he is an idiot.No,make that a complete idiot

 

[BeatDaSHO]

Take the SHO away from him. He doesn't deserve one.

Tell his daddy to go buy him a Kia Sephia.

lol...

makes little sense to me, as the ATX won't go past 4k to protect the torque converter.

I dunno what the rating on the torque converter is, but I can get cleanly to about 3-3500rpm and launch....

Not that that is any better, but....

 

[Mr Anonymous]

Tell him when he blows his tranny I'll sell him a rebuilt one for $5000.00! If he's stupid enough to intentionally break his tranny, just maybe he'll be stupid enough to pay me!

 

[shomaster]

I'll give a used atx sho tranny 10 nuetral drops before it starts slipping. Make him learn about the car before he beats the living **** out of it. Let him know that he's getting ready to spend alot of money.

A friend of mine went through his freshly rebuilt 93 ATX in barely 1 month. Was fond of neutral dropping 'till one day I caught him doing it. His excuse? It was the only way he could keep up with MTX SHO's He's now on his 3rd transmission, and suffice to say he's learned his lesson.

hey sleepa, I hope it's not you.....making it sound like a "friend".... beer burn_out beer

 

[SHO_Driver]

Tried that on a rental Camry at 4K rpm. Never seen another Camry peel that long. Would never risk that on a SHO, causes damage to the diff.

What will happen is you will blow a hole in the side of your tranny case when the diff lets go.

 

[SHOZ123]

Well he could be doing worse. How about flooring it in reverse then slammin' it into drive.....

When you do neutral drops sleepa, you will find out that the final neutral drop you do will cost thousands.

Well, I tried.

sleepa...my bad; didn't mean to jump your case like that. I'm a MTX guy myself, and as such I know next to nothing about the automatics. So I stand humbly corrected.

Yes! A friend of mine does neutral drops, but he drives a Toyota Echo! Not a high end sports sedan!
