actually it had to do with this thread moreso then you most recent comment, after all i was pointing out that you comment before was rather pointless because you were stating your opinion as fact as well as comparing an i4 auto (which is what this thread was originally based on) to a v6 auto which oddly enough are two different beasts

dual clutch is where its at.
no torque converter.
you can use auto in the city.
manual when your having fun.
no user-operated clutch tho... not as fun.
granted... I hate howstuffworks as much as the next guy... but they did a decent job on this one: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/dual-clutch-transmission.htm
i agree with the dual clutch thing. its an automatic with an actual clutch with two gears (one for odd gears and one for even gears). i know a friend with a jetta gli with tiptronic. he drives automatic most of the time but uses his tiptronic to have fun and his shifts are true shifts but are super smooth even more so than normal automatics. so basically its true manual shifting with no slutch and absolutely no kerking.

Marbro, the name of the thread is "Shifting with an automatic...." There is nothing about the engine in that topic. In addition, I know how to form a sentence and post to share my views on the topic.
Your recent posts serve no purpose other than to clog a good thread with annoying, childish comments.
I'm done talking to you. Don't expect a reply to your next rant.

gotcha, he was asking because he didnt care about the car he drove and he just felt the need to say what year engine type first thing..... thank you for your insight on what the original poster was trying to get the information for

maybe this is an obvious question but no ones metioned it so here goes...
when shifting 1-D4 are you guys pushing the accelerator down the whole time or are you letting off the gas in between shifts?

it would make sense to me that you would keep the accelerator down the whole time because thats the way the tranny shifts anyway, but i could be wrong.

i wouldnt see a reason to let off the accellerater(sp?) its an automatic so theres no clutch or anything to worry about.
but if youre driving "normally" without the manual shifting, ive noticed that if youre up to a certain speed but you want the transmission to "shift" a little early you can let off the gas for like half a second and itll kinda "shift" itll even have that crazy manual shifting jerk to it. hahaha it kinda hard to explain

yea ive noticed that too... but it does that for me in any gear. most likely because the TCU assumes your no longer accelerating when you let off the gas and it upshifts for obvious reasons.

I was wondering the same thing. So the short answer to this question is auto shifting isn't that bad for the tranny and you can do it without any harm?

a 6th gen auto tranny can blow itself apart at any time for no reason at all. Smooth shifting won't hurt it, but slamming gears will. I usually only downshift and upshift only 1-2, but I used to shift every gear and have not had any problems. I hate the 6th gen AT because it's keeping me from making the car real fast! The engine is a beast, but the tranny sucks!
