How can I ensure that my vehicle's transmission is protected from damage caused by engine braking?
To protect your vehicle's transmission from damage caused by engine braking, you can use lower gears when going downhill instead of relying solely on engine braking. This helps reduce the strain on the transmission and prevents overheating. Additionally, avoid prolonged periods of engine braking and consider using a transmission cooler for added protection. Regular maintenance and fluid checks are also important to ensure the transmission is in good condition.
Can you steer if overheating?
As long as the engine is running you will have power assisted steering. With the engine not running you will not have power assist and it will be hard to turn but turn-able. If the engine is overheating it would be wise to pull over and park when safe to do so and shut off the engine before expensive damage is done to the engine.
