Hi

What's the proper to slowly inch forward in traffic using AT / CVT?

Should we alternate between D and N or just use the brake?

Thanks

keep it in D and use the brake pedal.
you can also shift from D to N to D, but only if the waiting times are long-er. but even then, personally, i find this irritating sometimes.
bottomline, do whatever feels less irritating to you.

I drive a 6sp torque converter and at almost 240,000km it works great. I use "D" and brakes alone on slow or fast and even at full stop traffic.

tip: get your right hand off of the transmission knob or your phone

pag panay ang shift mo from D to N to D mapupudpod yung planetary gear friction band. so the best practice is to keep it in D and just use the brakes.

Thanks for the tip...i have been playing with the gears D-N-D for a long time during long traffic waits... i have a feeling there will be wear a tear somewhere ...thanks again

Oh no, I shift to N on 60sec red lights. Should I stay in D?

Yup,- kung ayaw tapakan ang preno,- hilahin ang handbrake....

he must have said "wear" on the planetary gear friction band at least 10 times. eto na lang isipin nyo, walang magaling magoverhaul ng automatic tranny sa pinas. pag surplus hindi mo alam kung ang binili mo e ayos at tatagal, pag brand new naman ay sobrang mahal.

isama na lang lagi ang syota/asawa/kabit sa kotse at humawak sa legs nyang maputi para hindi kung saan-saan o ano-ano ang kinakalikot ng kanang kamay nyo. kung single ka mangulangot ka na lang maluwag pa paghinga mo.
