Question
Hello, Kevin.
I have Chevy Corsica 4 cil. It is difficult for me to hold a brake pedal at the light, so I shift to neutral. Basically I am shifting back and force N to D and D to N without applying the brake pedal. Is it too bad for a trany?

Allen,
Thanks a lot


Answer
Sorry for the delay. I responded to your question a few days ago, but there must be technical glich and it is floating around somewhere in cyber-space. Anyway, my expertise is on American Motors cars(AMC). This is an old company that is no longer in business. They made such cars as the Pacer, Gremlin, & Matador. Being that you're driving a Chevrolet, I would recommend directing your question to the Chevrolet expert. I do not know enough about your vehicle to give a valid answer. Good luck.
