Q
is engine braking bad for automatic transmission
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Engine braking, which involves downshifting to allow the engine to slow the vehicle instead of using the brakes, is not inherently bad for an automatic transmission. Modern automatic transmissions are designed to handle the load changes associated with engine braking without causing damage. Furthermore, manufacturers often integrate features into their transmission control systems to facilitate engine braking in certain situations, improving control and efficiency. However, excessive or improper use of engine braking, especially on steep declines or at high speeds, could potentially place additional stress on the transmission components over time. It’s important to understand your vehicle's capabilities and consult the owner’s manual for recommended driving practices. In general, moderate and occasional use of engine braking in an automatic transmission vehicle should not lead to significant wear and tear, but it’s always wise to use it judiciously to maintain the longevity of your vehicle's transmission system.
