Drive. If you put it in 3, it binds up the tranny when slowing down.

I was told that suby recomended driving in 3 in traffic, to stop the trans constantly changing gears and thus heating up Not to metion extra wear! Would be interested if someone could clarify! I drive in traffic in 3 normally, but i change gear "manually" quite a lot Cheers, Jake

Today when I was driving up and down hills, putting the tranny in 3 made it act like a manual tranny (not free deceleration like in neutral). I thought 3 was good to stop tranny hunting when going up hills - not driving in traffic.
I was also told that shifting a automatic isn't worth it and could be potentially harmful to the tranny.

Aha, another question this made me think of. What advantage does the "manual" button give?

Menarius,
It sounds like your resistor is failed or unplugged, that will cause that "downshifting" sensation in 3. check to make sure its pluged in, located on the fender wall behind the battery.

Don't confuse low gear deceleration with the transmission "binding up". On motorways at a sustained 70mph+ I drive in D with the "power" button off. Otherwise, I always drive in "3" with "power" button on. The manual button prevents the gearbox from using 1st gear when the stick is in position "2" or "3".

I know you have the power, but isn't that hard on the clutch?

Is there a "power" button and i'm just missing it? In my 91 4eat xt, the "power" light would come on when the pedal was basically on the floor. Noticed it coming on in the svx ( i like to pronounce it out haha Ssvks) the other day... there's a button?

meaning, if you floor it slow and steady, you will not get power mode... but if you slam it to the floor, or even have way as fast as you can power mose will engage.
