I have a question for you gurus out there...
I got into an argument with a buddy of mine. We were debating whether or not revving an automatic is bad or not.
This got brought up because I just got the TRD exhaust for my tC. He wanted to hear it after I installed it so I gave it a little rev to 3k. He wanted me to rev higher and I said that I wasn't interested in destroying my dd.
He claims that an auto in park or neutral when revved to redline won't have any damage to it. The damage can only occur to the engine if it goes past redline.
I called B.S. on this and did NOT do this. Just want to make that clear.
Out of curiosity, I'd like to know if this is true or not. Not that I would go and do this, but more of curiosity behind the mechanics. I have always heard that you shouldn't rev an automatic in park/neutral. However, I never actually knew the mechanics behind it.
Would there be any damage to the auto transmission by doing this?
edited to include the same question but about the transmission.
