Hey guys,
All this transmission talk has me wondering about mine. One thing I've noticed on my 2010 GT is that when I take my foot completely off the throttle when driving 40-55 mph or so, it really has a lot of engine braking, I'm assuming. So much that it almost feels like my brakes are being applied or like a manual trans feels when you lift off the throttle and leave it in gear at a higher rpm. When I put the trans in neutral, it will coast without the resistance. I've never had an auto trans show this much engine braking before. I've been trying to find another 2.4 Vibe at a used car lot to drive and compare, but they are hard to find or are 30 miles away.
How do the transmissions on your cars feel? My powertrain warranty is good until 9/14, but I'm wondering if I should take it in and have it looked at. I really wish I had a manual trans on this car!
Thanks.
