I don't know of any Nissans that are flat towable. The risk involved is usually excessive wear in the bushings because they run dry when the fluid pump isn't keeping the fluid circulating. The lurch shouldn't happen when cutting the engine, but it is possible that it could have a brain fart after restarting the engine and shifting back to D.
It would be safer to say that if your vehicle is flat towable then it is safe to coast in neutral. You can find your vehicle's flat towability in your owner's manual. If it can be pulled by an RV in neutral without disconnecting drive shafts, at highway speeds, then it's flat towable at highway speeds. Some vehicles are only flat towable to 30mph.
Correct. You have the 4T65E transaxle. Not flat towable. The 4T45E, used in the smaller cars (Malibu, Cavalier, Cobalt) is flat towable up to 65mph. Do not kill the engine in your car when it's moving at more than walking speed.
The exceptions are those that can be flat-towed as behind an RV (check your owner manual). Also, you should be fine to fas the auto tranny on final low-speed approach to lights/parking spots. The issue is tranny lubrication, which stops along with the engine unless flat-towable. My Fit is flat-towable, but the Tacoma and CR-V are not.
Hello all, Today is my first day visiting this site. I have a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid, which I bought new in May of 07.
- flat towable: below 35 mph, for up to 50 miles. Since the distances are short, I stretch the speed a bit but not at highway speeds. - my older scangauge has no cutoff so I don't know. I do know that DFCO happens above 1200 rpm in both my Hondas. Get it into lockup (probably 45 mph) and try your darndest to keep it there.
So to go 43mph on a flat road at STP would take 8.4kW or ~11HP The closed form solution to this diffy-Q is somewhat nasty, so I used a finite-difference approximation in excel. I used mks units and then just multiplied the resulting velocity in m/s by 2.237 to get mph.
But if you have a flat towable car do the soft accel. Welcome to the group!! run500mph, Feb 24, 2009 #4.
At higher engine temps, it will actually lock the converter in second gear. The 2008 Honda vans have the old 5 speed countershaft transmissions that are little more than upsized motorcycle transmissions with friction clutches in place of the dog/synchro clutches to convert them to automatic. They're flat towable unlike the other makes.
We both assume that onboard charger will be the same in the Ioniq Electric someday. From absolutely flat to full in 9-hours and 35-minutes for 300+ miles of range has got to be a great thing. MUSTART L2 Portable EV Charger (240 Volt, 25ft Cable, 32 Amp) with NEMA 14-50P (Upgrade Version) for $339.00 as well. Wayne.
