How you can rev past 4k in neutral/park?

[KingKona]

You shouldn't really rev an engine without load.

But removing this limitation can be quite dangerous as you, sooner or later will destroy the transmission or the torque converter by revving it higher than the factory limit.

As for me, I never rev an unloaded engine past 2-3k, and I am quite progressive in getting to that.

Revving an unloaded engine for a short moment does absolutely nothing to it.

Ford (and other manufacturers) limit an auto's engine RPMs in neutral so you won't destroy the transmission doing a neutral-drop. Not because you "will destroy the transmission or the torque converter by revving it higher than the factory limit", or hurt the engine.

idk man, i don't think there's anything iconic about an automatic mustang......or any automatic muscle car. lol

A Mustang isn't a Muscle car.

The very first Mustangs had autos, because they were a "secretary's car". So an automatic Mustang is perfectly acceptable.

I'm not so sure that's just for the neutral drop but also what happens inside of a torque converter when you have a huge excursion in RPMs (on both sides of it, going up and down with the revs in a short amount of time).
But that's just me, I'm no fluid dynamics expert. Just I won't do it.

but I saw automatic as more authentic Mustang expierence over the manual.

please visit your local dealership for an infusion of old-timey motor oil. Automatics are an aberration and should be shunned at all cost. The entire concept of automatic transmission is a affront to the natural order of things. Like a mammal laying eggs...

Neutral drops on rental cars…..do folks still do that? I never did.

I agree that manuals are more fun, in most cases.
V6, and 6 speed auto nothing iconic, but I feel like thats something that is about the mustang to be automatic.

I barely driven the car yet, I just got in running recently, so I dont know yet, but people around me who had mustangs before suggested me to go with the auto.
Also, I am from Europe, so manuals are more common than Autos.

The 6R80 is underrated way too much. It’s actually a GREAT automatic.

Back in the '65-'66 Mustang with the C4 automatic, you could NOT rev it up and drop it into Drive. It won't engage (at least ours didn't; anything over say 3,000 rpm and drop from N to D did nothing). There was no computer so obviously something else in the trans didn't allow it to engage, though on the Chevelles with Turbo 350 it would go into gear at any rpm.

Ok, so I have another question that kight sound stupind. Reving uo to 4k and droppink to D is safe?

 

[luca1290]

I wouldn't do that. You're putting a lot of stress on many components and I don't know what you want to achieve.... except maybe looking exuberant.

You will look exuberant, but you'll also put a lot of stress on the cinematic components.

No. Automatics are not designed for that and I don't think it will launch you that well. A better way is to load up the torque converter (foot on brake, foot on gas).

There are automatics that have transbrakes that put the car in first and reverse and will let you rev the car and drop it into gear. The 6r80 does not come with a transbrake from factory but the 10r80 you can have a tune enable it.

Does foot o. brake and pedal method harmful? Also, there is launch control option in my car, but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

You can absolutely rev the car in park or neutral to 4k rpms and it will be just fine. The torque converter when you put it in park is disengaged from the crank in a way that won't harm it! You will need a tune to rev any higher than that.

The foot on brake method can hurt your car if you do it excessively. Launching any car puts tress on the gearboxes both manual and auto. I do the brake method on occasion but I only hold the rpms for 1800 or so. I can't get traction above that anyways.

If you are responsible about launching the car, staying at reasonable rpms you shouldn't run into any problems

Wouldn't it be something if we could go just one day without the GT fanboys pulling the dildo's out of their rears and waiving it in people's face when anyone mentions anything about thier V6?

That falls under the category "Fuck around, find out" ha-ha.
