Here are some more information for Engine Automatic Transmission:

Once you have obtained your DC motor and batteries you need to remove the engine from your vehicle. To do this you will need to rent a hoist or get your local mechanic workshop to do it for you. You will need to undo a few bolts to release the engine mountings and disconnect a few cables and wires. Always take safety first and make sure that your lift is secure at all times and that you do not place yourself in a dangerous position under the engine when you are lifting it out.

You will need the flywheel and clutch from your gas vehicle, so just be sure to get it off the engine once it is out of the car. Just note that for an electric vehicle conversion you cannot use an automatic transmission as it will draw too many amps and probably change at the wrong time, drastically reducing your speed and range. But do not worry if you are used to driving an automatic transmission vehicle, the electric vehicle will drive just like an automatic, simply put it in gear and drive, the motor will not idle when you stop so it is not necessary to hold the clutch in when stopped. The gearbox must remain in the vehicle as you will connect the DC motor to it by means of an adapter plate connecting the clutch and flywheel as well. You will attach the flywheel and clutch to the electric motor by means of a hub, which you will need to have made at an engineering workshop, unless you purchase an adaption kit.

Once you have removed the engine and other unnecessary parts from your donor vehicle, such as the radiator and the air conditioning unit. And when you have connected the motor to the adaptor plate, it is time to bolt the motor with the adaptor plate to the gearbox. Remember at this stage to be especially careful to keep the motor and gearbox lined up precisely, otherwise you could cause damage to the shaft coming out of the gearbox. Once the electric motor is connected to the gearbox you will need to hold it in position with the hoist and then make sure that it is securely fixed to the vehicle chassis. You may at this point need to make some support brackets which will need to be formed and welded, always be sure that you are conscious of all safety requirements when performing these operations.

Placing the motor into the vehicle and connecting it to the gearbox is one of the most intricate parts of the whole conversion process. Once this has been completed you have progressed a long way towards completing you electric vehicle conversion.

How to Drive Automatic Transmission Engine

Starting an Automatic Transmission engine

1) Start the engine in the Park (P) position or Neutral (N) position. The engine will not start in any other position.

2) After starting the engine, fully depress the foot brake pedal before shifting the selector lever from P (Park) to R (Reverse), D (Drive), 3 (Third gear), 2 (Second gear) or 1 (Low gear).

3) Keep the foot brake pedal depressed and push the selector lever button to shift into a driving gear.

4) Release the parking brake and foot brake, and then gradually start the vehicle in motion by pressing the accelerator pedal.

Usually automatic transmission is designed so that the foot brake pedal MUST be depressed before shifting from P (Park) to any drive position while the ignition switch is ON. The selector lever cannot be moved out of P (Park) and into any of the other gear positions if the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK, OFF or ACC position, or if the key is removed.

Shifting Automatic Transmission

When shifting the lever into P (Park), R (Reverse) or from D (Drive) to 3 (Third gear) the button located on the lever must be press. Except on the position mentioned above you can shift on other position without pressing the button on the selector lever.

P (Park)

When starting or parking the car, the location of the selector lever must be in this position. Make sure that the car is completely stopped, before moving the selector lever into P (Park) position. As a safety measures depressed the brake before moving the selector lever into P (Park) position. However, while the lever is in P position you must also engage the parking brake.

When parking on hills, depressed the brake pedal and apply the parking brake, and then shift to into P (Park) position.

R (Reverse)

Select the R position when you reverse your car. Before shifting to R (Reverse) position, ensure that the car is fully stopped.

N (Neutral)

The engine can be started on this position. When your car is stalled while driving, you can shift to N (Neutral) position then restart the engine.

D (Drive)

This position is use for all normal driving.

3 (Third gear)

This position is better for driving up and down slopes that need engine braking.

2 (Second gear)

This position is use for driving uphill or engine braking for downhill.

1 (Low gear):

This position is use when driving slowly on steep hills, driving through deep snow, sand or mud, or when making engine brake while driving on steep down hills.

Overdrive switch

Each time your vehicle is started, the transmission is automatically "reset" to overdrive ON.

ON: With the engine running and the shift selector lever in the D (Drive) position, the transmission upshifts into Overdrive as vehicle speed increases. Overdrive does not engage until the engine has reached operating temperature.

OFF: For driving up and down long slopes where engine braking is necessary push the Overdrive switch once. The O/D OFF indicator light in the instrument panel comes on at this time.

When cruising at a low speed or climbing a gentle slope, you may feel uncomfortable shift shocks as the transmission shifts into and out of Overdrive repeatedly. In this case, depress the

Overdrive switch to turn the Overdrive off. The O/D OFF indicator light in the instrument panel comes on at this time.

When driving conditions change, depress the Overdrive switch to turn the Overdrive on. Remember not to drive at high speeds for extended periods of time with the Overdrive off. This reduces fuel economy.

Shift lock release

If the battery is discharged, the selector lever cannot be moved from the P (Park) position even with the brake pedal depressed and the ignition switch in the ON position.

To move the selector lever, push the shift lock button then move the selector lever to N (Neutral) position.

When driving an automatic transmission engine, is it safe to shift to neutral gear while driving fast?

i drive an automatic vios and im disturbed

wishful thinkers in this bunch, no the tranny pump does not work in neutral, so the fluid will overheat, which just cooks it completely worthless, at 30 mph or less for 10 maybe 20 miles but that's it, and the fluid may be toast by then too good luck
