I have an automatic AMG. I engine brake by spamming the downshift paddle, basically keeping it at 5.5k rpm until I'm stopped.
Is this bad for the car?

I have an automatic AMG.
He's going to be okay isn't he?
Yes he's just resting
Why? Anyways i have a warranty so they'll fix the issues
Lol RIP car. Pretty soon u finna be saying you HAD an automatic AMG
It'll be OK I've done this on all my flappie autos. Have had them for years. I don't do 5.5 but yeah I do it to 3.5 some. 1 downshift T W O THREE 2 downshift T W O THREE 3 downshift
Like that
If you have a ZF you'll be ok. I do mine on Densos in Hondas and they're fine.
>3.5 some
But then you miss out on all the orgasmic exhaust/engine noise
>1 downshift T W O THREE 2 downshift T W O THREE 3 downshift
Why should I do that? Isn't the car's computer only downshifting when it's safe for the engine?
>ZF
wuts that?
just change the fluid every 30k miles
This will ruin most automatics.
Dual clutch autos are fine, much like a manual car, I’ll just wear the clutch faster.
Regular autos, older cars cannot blip to discounting out a lot of stress on the torque converter and clutch packs.
I drive the same way company fleet cars, never had a transmission last more than 30k miles.
Off that’s got you like to drive, consider a manual and learn to rev match. A perfectly rev-matched downshift causes literally nothing to the transmission, saves you brake, fuel, and you get that sweet noise.
Fricking autocorrect. Taking a shit atm só literally shitposting.
>This will ruin most automatics.
Exactly how?
They are supposed to work like that
Ye it has the speedshift mct shit.
Is there anything I can do to reduce the wear?
Sounds sexy
No, they're made of brake dust that I HAVE TO CLEAN OFF TWICE A FRICKING WEEK
Im in texas, i dont go down hills
Yessir i follow the service schedule as prescribed. The transmission usually sits around 200°F, the car isn't warning me or anything. What do I do if it does overheat?
It's just sleeping ahah
>having to clean brake dust from your car twice a week
???????????? how fricking hard are you gorilla gripping on your brakes christ
I drive like a chimp on cocaine, wait till you hear how often i need to replace my tires
Ok so im gonna assume it's okay to keep doing it and that if i have any issues my warranty will cover it. Thanks bros
I have no idea what that means lol. Look up the 9G Tronic
>slower than a bike
It may be slower but at least I won't die as easily. I would 100% die within a week of getting a bike
well you asked a question and i answered
>The transmission usually sits around 200°F
Yeah, that's pretty normal temperature.
>What do I do if it does overheat?
Replace (drain-fill) the fluid as soon as possible, maybe even two or three times with short intervals in-between.
Not everyone is a flat lander. Some of us drive in the hills or even in the mountainous terrain on a regular basis.
>Ye it has the speedshift mct shit.
Isn't it a regular planetary auto but with the wet clutch pack instead of the torque converter?
idk but its a mercedes so it's arab slop and slower than a bike

what purpose does engine braking serve?
braking
if you're going down a long steep hill it's great for saving your brakes
its for braking for when you don't want to use the thing that's meant for braking
Avoid brake fade when you need constant braking, like when going down on a very long slope.
You act like your brakes are made of gold. Just lift and brake if needed.
No. Make sure you change the fluid regularly and don't overheat the transmission.
Gore? On my car board?
it's normal wear and tear, you're just using the clutch instead of the brake
Eh, he's using the clutches very shortly for the gear changes, the engine does all the work after that
Is it bad to do that with a cold transmission?
It’s totally fine. The trans isn’t more stressed than if accelerating faster. Acceleration is acceleration and it only means a change in velocity over time.
Engine braking itself isn’t hurting the engine at all. And you’re saving ware on the pads.
DCT basically don’t wear the clutch unless you are crawling in traffic.
