Had a question posed to me recently
- If one was to apply the foot brake to a cx~5 awd automatic trans ( say on a hill ) and add power before moving ...about 10 + seconds at low rpm -under 1500k rpm -( which creats a low volume groaning sound ) - would this cause transmission damage ? My answer was no , if for a brief low rpm period as the groaning sound is the torque converter and it is only receiving input power -until the brake is released then the output side moves and then the actual transmission is engagued - anyone have other experience based opinions - Im asking because , she lives near steep hills and does this often- dosent have hill hold - my guess - it can handle much worse - ?? Thnx
