Can an automatic transmission car be pushed when in N gear?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car can be pushed when in N gear. This is because the N gear is the neutral position, which does not engage the gears of the transmission. It simply puts the transmission in a no-load state, making it more fuel-efficient than any other gear. Below is an introduction to the various gears of an automatic transmission: P gear: Abbreviation for 'parking,' the parking gear. When shifted into P gear, the vehicle's transmission is locked. R gear: Abbreviation for 'Reverse,' the reverse gear. Used when reversing the car; shifting into R gear allows the car to move backward. N gear: Abbreviation for 'neutral,' the neutral gear. D gear: Abbreviation for 'drive,' the drive gear. D gear is the most commonly used gear; shifting into D gear and pressing the accelerator allows the car to move forward. S gear: Abbreviation for 'sport,' the sport gear. Many car models refer to this as sport mode. In this mode, the car's power increases, but fuel consumption also rises.
