Hi all,

today i was driving around 50 or 60 and acidentally hit the gear stick (auto) from D to N, i heard engine rev sound and i quickly let go of gas and put it back to D and slow down and pull over.

My question is will this cause any damage to the gear, or engine? and how bad is that??

I do that all the time, minus the revving.

There shouldn't be any issues. Most autos these days have rev limiters in them, so it extremely unlikely that anything untoward occured to the engine or drive train.

wtf? Its neutral. Thats what its designed for. There is no way in a billion years that that would do any damage, unless u held the throttle open for a good 5 minutes or so. Manual or auto, its no issue at all.

I have never experienced somthing like that in an Auto before but I have with my manual. I have the 6 speed Corolla and when I got into my brothers Yaris I chucked it into reverse thinking it was going into 6th doing about 60km/h. I didn't throw it into the reverse hard so it wassn't as bad as it sounds.

Ha ha I used to do this in my Commodore Auto everytime I reached for a tissue :lol:

It wont cause any problems.

What does damage your transmission is when you are stationary, dial up high revs in neutral and then slam it into drive.

Awwww ,but that is just so much fun, particularly when that car isn't yours (I get to play with fleet cars these days)!

Yeah my frend did that too once and his gearbox and engine fell off. It didn't affect his 1/4 mile time though so all good.

:ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

u guys are such shyt stirrers :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

mated dont worry nothing happened or caused any damage as long as u kept off the gas wen shifting back from N to D.

As stated by CAP the stationary N rev out and flick into D is what will cause damage mostly

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
