RH77 - Your integra may not have a lockup feature which keeps the torque converter in constant lock (engine spinning) You'll have to drop a gear or two and find out... rule of thumb, converter locks at 2k RPM, so at 35 mph, you may need to be in 2nd gear.

I'm not sure of the implications of putting the transmission in gear in an auto while it's off... I doubt it would damage anything, but it just might piss something off, and open that black hole, or create a rip in the space-time continuum.... you never know. Again, consult a dealer. Except, in your case, go to a Honda dealer. They tend to be more honest than Acura dealers. *Acura is an american car... Honda is a Jap car produced in America*
