Who here Drive Manumatic/Tiptronic all the time (daily driven)?

Been doing a lot of research but I was wondering would it mess up the transmission. I've been driving on it for a little bit over a month now.

Have there been any problem at all for those who driven it daily?
and What should i watch out for if its daily driven?

 

Why would it mess up the transmission?

 

I drive in MM exclusively, I cannot drive in D any more. If I do I always pop it into N lol.

 

I never do lol unless im ripping up a section of twisty road or running her through the gears down an on-ramp, but thats few and far between anymore since we got the vette lol G doesn't lay rubber through second...

 

I'll randomly switch between the two. Just kinda depends.

 

Manu-mode all the time for this guy

 

only driven my car is D a couple of times since i had it.

 

im surprise a bunch of you drive manumatic and have no problem =D

 

why would there be a problem? I don't get where this thought of putting it in MM harms the car.

 

Yeah, I am not sure where you are getting this idea from. If it caused a problem they would not have included it and left it as a standard automatic.

 

I think he is implying that holding a gear does heat up the trans more. However, I am sure the designers took this into consideration. Plenty of guys do it nonstop...and I have yet to hear of a failure due to it.


I rarely use mm mode....just not the same as a real manual trans and I lose interest.

 

And what did you come up with? Are did you mean you wanted to do some research...

 

My local dealer in SLC, Utah was telling me that they've seen problems with trans if people drive in MM a lot. Mostly with 2004.5-2007 models. I don't know why.

 

I have an 05 with around 105k miles (had it since new)and use mm pretty frequently (I love the sound of the rev match). I also change my trans fluid every 20k or so (drain and fill) no problems here.

 

I think the problem he is worried about is that some people dont know when to shift

My friend with a RSX shifts at like 6,500 RPM...says he gets the most out of each gear...
