I was wondering if it would hurt the auto transmission in my v6 passat to rev it up in neutral then slam it (without letting up on the gas) into drive so i can do an insane burn out. (I know...a passat...not really that kind of car.)
Burning out!?!?!?!

Dont do it.
If you want to do a sick burn out...
1.spray your driveway with water
2.put your drive wheels on the water hold your brake w/ 1 foot while feeding it gas. If your car is front wheel drive put the E-Brake on and feed it gas.

I'll make sure to that!stevew said:
would it hurt the transmission to do wat i thought of originally?

Yes it would prolly drop out and f-up your car.bomberboy1234 said:
auto transmissions were NOT made to be abused that way. If you must, hold down the brake and rev it up to ~2500, but do NOT rev in neutral and drop into drive. Both are really stupid btw. if you need to impress friends, take the car to a track and learn to drive... keep it off the streets please.
Hah, A darwin award.
If you rev the engine in neutral and slam it in to drive, it will shock your transmission, or more likely, your propshaft(s). One or the other will fail, usually the propshaft(s).
I don't recommend trying to do a burnout with your Jetta as the components are probably a little too weak to take a lot of abuse... I will, however, share the technique most cars/trucks (Buick GN, GMC Syclone/Typhoon, Muscle Cars) with automatic transmissions use to launch at the track. You will need a matched torque convertor to exploit this technique fully:
1) Put the transmission in neutral.
2) Hold the brake down.
3) Rev the engine twice by blipping the throttle and you will feel the brake sink down. This is creating vacuum in the brake system so it will hold more power.
4) Let the RPMs drop completely down while still holding the brake.
5) When the RPMs are down all the way, shift back in to drive.
6) Keep holding the brake and give it as much gas as you can.
7) Release brake while still pressing down on the gas.
Be smart and stay safe: Practice on a track and not only will you be safer, but there will also be people around willing to help you out.
Seriously don't try this with your stock Jetta... I'm just telling you how experienced and professional drag racers do it.

Being a kid in the 70's with all the muscle cars around, even normal cars had huge block engines, peeling out was nothing out of the ordinary. People did it by mistake back then. Now when i see some kid peeling out with some foreign car, having to work so hard to do it, it just really makes me laugh, and think how stupid it is.
LOL, I hear that. My first car was an 1969 Oldsmobile 442, most of the time I couldn't even leave a stop light without squealing the tires a bit and that's just trying to take off at a normal speed. Those were the good old days when all you had to do is put the pedal to the floor and tires were spinning and smoking.Skookum said:
BTW referring to the main topic, the correct term for revving it up then putting it in drive is called a "Neutral drop". Plus don't do that in a Foreign car that's just ghey. Get yourself a real car with a real motor.
Now now, you don't need that much horsepower.Brian HCM#1 said:

Thats all we need.......Hippies on a rampage 
so wait, If I take my pathfinder, push in the clutch, rev it to 5 grand and then dump the clutch in first gear, does that make me cool too?
And thats not bad for the car, right? It was made for that wasnt it?

Last summer I was driving an automatic 68 Mustang (fastback) with a 302 4-barrel to work. The place that I worked had a parking-lot that opened up to a really busy street. On more than one occasion, especially when traffic was busy, I ended up hitting the gas too hard, burning out and for all intents drifting into the street and right into traffic. Scared the sh*t out of me every time.Skookum said:

I can just imagine people from auto parts dealerships reading this thread and rubbing their hands in glee, muttering, in a Burns-esque tone, "excellent!"
Does anyone else get the feeling he's already done this and is wondering how bad it actually was? Of course it's not good for the tranny, going from high RPM at zero load to full load at high RPM. I have a race built tranny in my truck and I wouldn't even consider doing that.

not after I make that anti-wobble bolt my bitch!
can you say.... SHOCK LOAD!
You will blow up something FOR SURE. If your car is FWD then it could be the tranny itself or a CV joint/halfshaft. If the car is RWD then a driveshaft or possibly even ring&pinion if not tranny. NOT A GOOD IDEA! It's kinda like shifting gears while standing in a full-on uphill sprint on your bike except 100 time worse.
With that said I used to do those ("neutral drops") in my old school Toyota van when I was a dumb kid and boy was it fun. That is until I spent $800 on a new rear third member because I grenaded mine. OUCH! That's a lot of $ when your 16. Live and learn right!?

get a manual
Yeah, shattering clutch plates is WAY better. Either a) don't burn out because there isn't any good reason to or b) build your motor so you have the power to do it the "right" way, just don't forget to upgrade the rest of your drivetrain.dexter said:
Ha! that reminded me... a couple years ago I was driving my mom's Sienna and had to fill up the tank, but in the parking lot was a bunch of tricked out rice rockets having a 'gathering' so while leaving the parking lot I hit the gas hard and peeled out in front of them.... it was classic.punkassean said:

i do it ALL THE TIME in my mom's volvo. soooooo sick.

The 1.8T might not be the greatest thing around, but it can easily push 210/250 at the crank with the cheapest, most basic of mods. Granted, i find myself wishing for more power all the time, but ya gotta admit that's decent torque coming from 1.8 liters.
Why in the blue blazes would you DO that to a Passat? That car is a road machine, not some (as Red Foreman would say) dumbass kids outlet for not getting any from Mary Jane Rottencrotch.
