reliability issue

Well I am interested in buying a car on a stick. I havn't drove any sticks but my dad's old pickup truck and i was wondering what would happen to a transmission in particular if someone were to drive the car very hard and do burnouts everyday. Is it bad for the tranny and could you ruin it? I know the clutch is a different story but the reason i guess im asking this is because i have an old 88' legend and the tranny is destroyed with only 56k miles on it. I am the second owner and the car had been drove very slow before me because it was a granny. But anyways only lightly neutral dropped it several times would this blow an automatic tranny regardless how good the tranny is?. Thanks.

:lol:

Yeah, if you abuse a car... it will break. Tranny drops are a no-no... and even a manual transmission will break if you abuse it as well. I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to manual transmissions but common sense tells me something like the syncros and even the actual gears themselves could get chewed up if you're slamming the tranny around.


:rofl: Tranny drops in a Acura Legend... gosh... not the best.

hahahhaa.. common sense for some.. but not for others.. hahahhahaha
