well you can do you turn the car off after or do you just do it at stop lights? If you put it in neutral at stop lights and signes and then put in gear to drive it add wear to your transmision. Just leave it in drive when driveing.

Your reverse went out in your 1977 Chevy Cheyenne automatic transmission what to do?

generally speaking, reverse will take a lot more fluid pressure to shift into than forward gears. so first you check to make sure that your transmission fluid is at the proper level and also that it isn't contaminated or burnt up. If your transmission fluid is fine and at it's proper level. (you have to check it with the engine warmed up, and depending on your transmission, have it in neutral or park when you check the level) if that's okay, it could be a number of different problems and you will be best off having a knowledgeable mechanic diagnose it for you.

How much can you pull with your cheve tracker?

if you have 4x4 you can pull 1500 pounds but even if you do have 4x4 i suggest getting a transmission cooling system from uhaul if you have an automatic transmission because even though it says its okay to tow, if your tracker did NOT come with a tow package from the factory (which none of them did) then you need the transmission cooling system or you will fry your transmission and damage your transfer case.
