gears on a automatic

[mongyboz]

can somebody tell me what the difference is in the gear selection on a automatic gearbox. i.e D, 2, L. I know what D is but i dont know about the other 2 ????.

L is 1st
2 is 2nd
D is 3rd
OD is 4th

L & 1 are used to override the auto selection system

L will hold the gearbox in 1st
2 will let the gearbox shift between 1st & 2nd only.

These are usefull in long steep decents to assist with engine braking as you can stop the autobox shifting up through the gears as the speed increases.

Obviously you need to be carefull not to redline the engine if using these.

2 - Truck will use 1st and 2nd gears
L - Truck will only use 1st gear
R - Makes the truck go backwards

Hi mate,

L low, like 1st gear
2 like 2nd gear
D does what it wants.
O/D 4th

Find a steep hill, and facing down it.
Try this, selector in N,
push transfer lever into low 4wd,
pull selector into L, foot of brake,
and see how slowly it goes down hill. Awsome.
REMEMBER to put every thing back to rwd, Don't
use 4wd on the road.
