Q
is engine braking in an automatic bad
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Engine braking in an automatic transmission is not inherently bad and can be beneficial under certain conditions. Modern automatic transmissions are designed to handle engine braking without causing damage. When descending steep grades, engine braking can reduce reliance on traditional brakes, preventing them from overheating and prolonging their life. However, it should be done correctly and sparingly. Excessive engine braking on an automatic transmission, especially if done abruptly or improperly, can potentially stress the transmission over time. Most automatic vehicles now come with features that mimic engine braking, allowing for safer and controlled deceleration. It's important to consult your vehicle's manual for recommended practices. In summary, while engine braking is not harmful per se, its utility and safety depend on how and when it is applied.
