Im 16, so what can i say, enjoy driving and stuff. I have a 1992 Accord lx, and i picked up a new habit, i dont know if it is bad or not. The car has P, R, N, D4, D3, 2, 1 gears on the shifter. Ive started to put it in 1 at a stop light, when i turns green i goo, not too fast but reasonably quickly, then when the tach gets to about 6 K revs, i put it in 2, then i do the same, then when it gets to 6 K revs, i put it in d3, then after a little bit more in D4, will this destroy my tranny. The car has 161 K miles on it, and its all i have, so im being very meticulous in its care and stuff, and was wondering if that will break the tranny. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

nah. up shifting wont cause you any problems.. but downshifting will

 

OK, thanks for the help.

 

yes !! what a stupid thing to do!!

if you want to shift gears yourself - buy a manual car , otherwise dont abuse the car ok?!

 

First off 6k is a little high for daily driving, secondly I ahve heard it weakens the head gaskets. My friend does it in his diamante and he has gone through 3 head gaskets.
