Project- Bills Buggy
Sorry for my bad english;-) what i mean with engine break is that when you select low(1) or reverse, the reverse band is engaged. This is locking the sprag or free-wheel in the trans. This will cause the engine to "hang" in the gear if you let of the gas after reving it in 1. This will not happen if you put it in D(drive). In d, the trans does not apply the reverseband,and thus allow the sprag to free out and the engine falls to idle when you let of. Cruising -you give some throttle and let of the pedal, the engine drops to idle,but the car is rolling as fast as you revd it.
This is the reason they say not to do burnout in D. The sprag is not happy to hold alot of power itself...(this is auto valvebodies only)-but i guess you have driven one;-)
You have manual valvebody, still you should feel the engine "hanging" in 1 gear.
Was this understandable??::read2:
Upper right is the adjusting screw. 1-2 turns out from tight.
Not my picture, stole it from the web....
