  1. So few days ago my dad drove my car and I was in the passenger seat and I noticed that when he reversed, before coming to a complete stop with the car still slight motion, he put it in D. I told him off to first come to a full complete stop before changing from R to D, I was about to lecture him about why you shouldn't change gears while car is in motion (about 1-2KM/h) but then I stopped and I thought, hmm I have no clue why! lol.

    It's just something that I do, come to a complete stop before changing gears. Being in a lot of other peoples cars I have realised most don't come to a complete stop and change gears from R to D while the car is still slightly rolling.

    I thought this is not good for the transmission.

    So just wondering, is it a bad thing to do? And how do you change gears from R to D? Do you always come to a complete stop or do it while still in motion?

    Irrespective of what model of car, it is a good practice to make a complete stop before changing from D to R. In fact, the Toyota manual specifically indicated "Never shift into reverse while the vehicle is moving."
