Default Dumping the clutch on an automatic?

Is this good for the auto trans? I hate driving auto, i dont even know why i bought one. In my old manual cars I used to rev up the engine, and let out the clutch to spin the tires. In my car I like to rev it up in Park to 3000rpm, then drop it to Drive. It feels exactly the same as manual, only there is a bit of a delay when you do this.

Is this bad for the tranny? I did it about 4 or 5 times and my friend saw me do it in town and said its gonna blow it up. I hope i dont blow it up, but if I do will that be under warranty?

It's not a good idea to do that as it can cause serious transmission problems, and no, the warranty does not cover driver error/stupidity.

okay nimrod, stop doing that. what you are doing is called a "neutral drop". except your actually stupid enough to do it form park instead of neutral, i would love you see you screw up some time and accidentally drop it into reverse and power into something behind you cause your a freaking tard.

anway, a neutral drop is really stupid to do, if put alot of strain on your torque convertor, and cause transmission slippage, or worst case scenario, you can drop your transmission right now.

and no, if you try and take it in for service because of some kind of transmission related problem, they can see obvious signs of driver abuse.

so stop being a dumb@$$ abusing the nice car your parents bought you and before you wreck it cause your a stupid spoiled ingrate who doesn't deserve nice things.

AWD cars don't have wheel spin unless you're making huge amounts of torque dude

so your automatic beat a 350z, for some reason i dont see that happening unless this z had no clue what the gas or the brake was
