Default Is this Neutral Dropping???

Shifting from park to drive and then quickly letting off the brake and hitting the accelerator. If so, woops! Please let me know, lol.

Doesn't sound like it is, as long as your not giving it gas during the shift. If you shift from Park to Drive, then then let off the brake after the car has fully shifted into Drive, then floor it, it's not a neutral drop, and you should be ok other than standard wear and tear. A neutral drop is revving up to 5000 RPM, for example, then dropping it into Drive, that is BAD, never do that, ever. If you want a decent burnout try brakestanding, be careful with that too though.

yah when leaving my buds house i wasnt paying attention and i shifted into drive the seconds after pressed my gas (very lightly) and screech, lol. I was kinda upset thinking it was a nuetral drop. I tried it again and almost did it but it didnt do it as good. I hope it's safe, lol. how long does it take to fully get into gear, cause possibly it wasn't.

i dont think you need to worry, one time like that isnt gonna hurt it, ive put mine on the rev limiter then stuck it in drive countless times, or got goin in reverse till the rev limiter & put it in drive (reverse slam) and my trans still works, lol, it probly wont for long, but its a beater car

Thats exactly what it is.

Please tell that to my engine mount, lol. I'm on my second one now. Tranny may be strong but other parts aren't.

If taken care of, then yes it's bulletproof. But put some Dexron/Mercon fluid in there and hear it slip and grind

my sisters friend put that Dexron stuff into her car while she was away from college... she comes home and saids her transmission is having problems... and i'm like oh crap great tranny gone... i took in the trunk...and i see a Dexron thing and i'm like "who in the hell put this crap in it?!" and she said one of her friends and i was slighly angry lol... thankfully it has a transmission leak so as soon as it got basiclly empty (not good...but cheaper than changing the fluid [transmission with 200,000+ miles and never been changed])... i went to Autozone and got the correct ones...and the trannys been working beautifully.... wasn't this transmission in the old Omni's and some Caravans?
