Correct*

*Assuming your car has a transmission that works on the same principles as the rear drive Chevrolet transmissions I am familiar with. I can't imagine it would be different assuming you have a "regular" auto with a torque converter and planetary gearset

Can I also assume it is OK to shift from N to D at low speeds ? __________________ [I]So long and thanks for all the fish.[/I]
